Detailed explanation-1: -2. Which of the following is NOT a reason why a cell would undergo division? Cell growth is not a reason why cells divide. Cells divide to repair or reproduce.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cells must divide repeatedly for an embryo to develop or for you to grow. Cells also divide in order to replace damaged or worn-out cells. Most cell division produces genetically identical cells, meaning they have the same DNA.
Detailed explanation-3: -For the survival and growth of organisms. Maintaining chromosome numbers. Damaged cells are renewed.
Detailed explanation-4: -When there is more volume and less surface area, diffusion takes longer and is less effective. This is because there is a greater area that needs to receive the substance being diffused, but less area for that substance to actually enter the cell. this is actually why cells divide.
