This has to do with SURFACE TO VOLUME RATIO. For a typical small cell, its surface area to the volume ratio get smaller as the cell grows. This implies that, if the cell grows beyond a certain limit, then the amount of nutrients that entered the cell will be limited, that is , nutrients will not be able to migrate into the cell as needed. To avoid this, the cell has to divide to reduce its surface to volume ratio.<span />

What are the frequencies of each offspring genotype in a cross between rr female and a rr male?

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Since the male and the female have recessive alleles of this gene, all of their offspring will be like that too.
rr x rr cross will result in 100% of the offspring with the genotype: rr
