What are the limitations to cell growth?

Increasing demands on DNA

A cell's surface area to volume ratio

Decreasing demands on DNA

A cell's volume

Rate yourself on how confident you feel on the learning target: I can describe the limitations a cell faces as it increases in size.

Which statement BEST AND FULLY describes why cells must divide?

Cells must divide because they get too big and they divide automatically.

Cells must divide because their surface area to volume ratio becomes too small to efficiently transport substances in and out of the cell. There are also too many demands placed on DNA, which does not grow with the cell.

Cells must divide because their surface area to volume ratio becomes too large to efficiently transport substances in and out of the cell.

There are too many demands placed on DNA, which grows with the cell. Eventually the nucleus divides so the cell does too.

Rate yourself on how confident you feel on the learning target: I can explain why cells must divide.

Asexual reproduction will result in-

genetically identical offspring.

genetically unique offspring.

Sexual reproduction will result in-

genetically identical offspring.

genetically diverse offspring.

Rate yourself on how confident you feel on the learning target: I can define asexual and sexual reproduction.

Select what is true about asexual and sexual reproduction. (3 answers)

Asexual reproduction results in many offspring in a short amount of time.

Offspring from asexual reproduction are well-adapted when the environment changes.

Sexual reproduction results in fewer offspring and takes longer for offspring to grow.

Offspring from sexual reproduction are not well-adapted to changes in the environment.

Offspring from sexual reproduction are genetically identical.

Rate yourself on how confident you feel on the learning target: I can compare asexual and sexual reproduction.
