Biology
1 answer:
antoniya [11.8K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Chromosomes condense before mitosis to allow them the ability to move smoothly, without becoming entangled and breaking. (So, they are conveniently packaged for cell division, in which the chromosomes must move to both poles of the cell.)

Explanation: Otherwise it would be a massive mess to untangle and separate like a meesed up fishing reel jammed with line mixed together with the jammed lines from 3000 other messed up lines

Why is it important that cell growth in a multi- cellular organism be regulated so carefully?
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

It is important that cell growth in a multi-cellular organism be regulated carefully so as to maintain the integrity of the cell cycle

Explanation: Each cell in a multi-cellular organism has it cycle which consist of the inter-phase and the m-phase (active division). Cell growth takes place in the G1 phase of the inter-phase and this ensures that deoxy ribonucleic acid is synthesized in the S-phase in preparation for division.

Hence, adequate cell volume is a key event in order for division to take place. If cell growth is not regulated, it might result in a cell exiting the cell cycle into the resting phase in case of slow growth or result in over-division of a cell in case of over-stimulated growth. The latter is often the case in the development of cancerous cells.
