The surface area to volume ratio of the cell decreases.
This decrease is due to the fact that the volume of the cell increases at a greater rate than the surface surrounding the cell, the cell membrane, increases. This change is also visible when we are blowing up a balloon. 

When considering the cell division, the ratio remains roughly the same. It is advantageous for the cell to preserve its surface area to volume ratio, since a higher ratio means that substances are able to diffuse into and out of the cell at a fairly higher rate.

Whats are the pros and cons of a endoskeleton?
Softa [21]

Well, an endoskeleton is an internal skeleton, like humans have. Pro: Bones do not get broke as easily, since they are inside of the body. Bones that break also heal more quickly in an endoskeleton, since they have tissue and blood surrounding it and transferring nutrients. Con: The flesh can get easily damaged. There is no shedding with endoskeletons, so a new skeleton cannot be grown in the event of an injury.

The one on the bottom
bonufazy [111]
Natural selection or survival of the fittest can cause a major evolution as the species at risk need to stay alive and therefore need to become more adapted to the situation at hand. The species can evolve through generations to become more crafted to the predatorial habits of their predators. If the females are less at risk than the males then the males might evolve to become more protected or if some of the species live in a different situation maybe not even that far away, that can have a big impact on the evolutionary habits of the species at hand.
