|
|
|
provides each daughter cell with its own copy of DNA
|
|
|
Increases the mass of the original cell
|
|
|
increases surface area to volume ratio
|
|
|
reduces the volume of each cell
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Cell division solves the problem of increasing size by reducing the volume of cytoplasm in the two daughter cells and dividing up the duplicated DNA and organelles, thereby increasing surface to volume ratio of the cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cell division increases the mass of the original cell. A cell’s chromosomes are replicated during interphase. Cell division solves the problem of cell growth by increasing cell volume. Typically, the longest phase of the cell cycle is interphase.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: B), replication of DNA does not occur in mitosis.
Detailed explanation-4: -There are two types of cell division: mitosis and meiosis. Most of the time when people refer to “cell division, ” they mean mitosis, the process of making new body cells. Meiosis is the type of cell division that creates egg and sperm cells.
