Question

The cell after reaching a certain size
1. Divides into two
2. Bursts
3. Stops functioning
4. Degenerates

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Divides into two

The correct answer is Divides into two.

• The cell after reaching a certain size divides into two.
• If the cell grows beyond a certain limit, not enough material will be able to cross the membrane fast enough to accommodate the increased cellular volume.
• Mitosis is a process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells that occurs when a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells.
• During cell division, mitosis refers specifically to the separation of the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus.
• In eukaryotic cells or cells with a nucleus, the stages of the cell cycle are divided into two major phases: interphase and the mitotic (M) phase.
