Explain why actively growing cells are usually small in size

Biology

Dmitry [639]3 years ago

Actively growing cells are usually small in size because it gives them a higher surface area to volume ratio, so basically whatever it is that the cell needs to put out, it can get out faster. they also wear out faster therefore they need to be made quicker so the smaller the cell the easier it is to make.

The right answer is B and C.

For proposal C, I will give you an example, that of an autosomal recessive disease. If a parent is heterozygous for an allele causing an autosomal recessive disease (due to a mutation), it may be that it transmits the allele to its descendence, as it may not be able to transmit it (since in one heterozygous subject, not all of its gametes carry the mutated allele) and thus the mutation will no longer be copied through the generaitons.

Each individual is genetically unique. Its genes are distributed along chromosomes contained in the nucleus. Mutations can lead to the appearance of different versions of genes: alleles. A diploid individual has two copies of each gene, which may be identical or different alleles. Mixing during sexual reproduction partly explains the genetic diversity of individuals.
