What is the main reason why a cell needs to divide before becoming too large?
What is the main reason why a cell needs to divide before becoming too large?
- To decrease the demands on the cell's DNA
- To solve the problem of information storage by replicating all of its DNA (correct)
- To increase the cell's ability to take in nutrients and release waste
- To create extra copies of DNA to meet the cell's needs
What happens if a cell were to grow without stopping?
What happens if a cell were to grow without stopping?
- The cell would eventually have enough DNA to meet its needs
