Why does cells divide instead of just grow larger?

Biology

Hello there :). Here is why cells divide instead of growing larger:

The larger a cell becomes, the more demands the cell places on its DNA. In addition, the cell has more trouble moving enough nutrients and wastes across the cell membrane. In time, the cell's DNA would no longer be able to serve the increasing needs of the growing cell.

Identify the type of mutation that occurred and explain in what way it affected the protien
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

The type of mutation that occurs when in the DNA strand there is a change from guanine to cytosine is a nonsense mutation, since the triplet that should encode the amino acid encodes a stop codon and the protein cannot be completely synthesized.

Explanation:

The nonsense mutation consists of a change in one of the bases of the stranded DNA, which is transcribed into an altered mRNA, producing a stop codon, instead of an amino acid.

In the table it is observed that the CCA codon is a stop codon that cuts off the protein synthesis prematurely, leaving it incomplete and probably non-functional.

Sometimes this type of mutation can alter the sequence of amino acids but the protein may be complete enough to partially fulfill its function.
