|
|
Cells grow to be large so that more nutrients can enter and exit the cell membrane
|
|
|
Cells stop growing and divide to stop information overload
|
|
|
Cells stop growing and divide so demands on DNA are limited
|
|
|
As cells grow the DNA contained in the nucleus stays the same

Detailed explanation-1: -Cell growth refers to the increase in cell size (mass accumulation) while cell division describes the division of a mother cell into two daughter cells (1->2->4->8, etc.). Cell proliferation is the process of generating an increased number of cells through cell division.
Detailed explanation-2: -A cell when undergo mitosis then the chromosome content of the cell remains the same after the division. Meiosis is termed as the reductional division. A cell when undergo meiosis then the chromosome content of the cell gets reduced to half after the division. So, the 1st and 4th statements are incorrect statements.
Detailed explanation-3: -Expert-Verified Answer Metabolism is not the result of cell division. Therefore the answer is (3) metabolism.
Detailed explanation-4: -Some cells stop dividing when issues of sustainability or viability of their daughter cells arise, such as with DNA damage or degradation, a process called cellular senescence. Cellular senescence occurs when normal diploid cells lose the ability to divide, normally after about 50 cell divisions.
