Answer:

Due to increase of surface area, the nutrients move efficiently inside the cell.

Explanation:

The cells need to have a high amount of surface area as compared to their total volume because with increase of surface area, the nutrients move efficiently inside the cell. A large surface area to volume ratio indicates that the cell can be efficient in moving nutrients and waste materials around using through the process of diffusion but when the volume increases instead of surface area, the efficiency of the cell decreases, and cells won't be able to do its job efficiently.

During interphase, the cell copies its DNA in preparation for the second stage of meiosis.

Prophase is the first stage of cell division, in which the chromosomes become visible as paired chromatids and the nuclear envelope disappears.

Metaphase is the second stage of cell division in which the chromosomes become attached to the spindle fibers.

Anaphase is the third stage of cell division, in which the chromosomes move away from one another to opposite poles of the spindle.

Telophase is the fourth stage of cell division, in which the chromatids or chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cell and two nuclei are formed.

Cytokinesis is the division of a cell at the end of mitosis or meiosis that separates the cells into two individual daughter cells.
