Why does cells divide instead of just grow larger?

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.

The geographic isolation of a population from other members of the species and the subsequent evolution of reproductive barriers

Ber [7]

Answer:

4 allopatric

Explanation:

The formation of a new species can occur in several ways. One such process is the separation of two populations of a species geographically. The presence of any geographical barrier may separate the two populations from each other. These populations accumulate variations over time. After several generations, the members of these two populations can not interbreed successfully and are said to be reproductively isolated. The two populations are now two different species. This is called allopatric speciation.

What is another term for translation ?

HACTEHA [7]

Answer: Another name for translation is protein synthesis.

Explanation: Translation is a biochemical process in which a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule is used to make a polypeptide chain (protein). Protein synthesis occurs in the ribosome where the ribosome binds to the mRNA strand and interpretes the codons in the mRNA into their corresponding amino acids. A tRNA brings the appropriate amino acid coded for in each codon and attaches it to the growing polypeptide chain.

The polypeptide chain produced undergoes other processes after translation to form proteins.

What are the definitions for them? Pls help

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

plate: a disk formed in the phragmoplast of a dividing plant cell that eventually forms the middle lamella of the wall between the daughter cells.

plate boundary: Plate boundaries are the edges where two plates meet. Most geologic activities, including volcanoes, earthquakes, and mountain building, take place at plate boundaries. ... Convergent plate boundaries: the two plates move towards each other. Transform plate boundaries: the two plates slip past each other

earthquake: An earthquake is the result of a sudden release of stored energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. ... An earthquake is caused by tectonic plates getting stuck and putting a strain on the ground. The strain becomes so great that rocks give way by breaking and sliding along fault planes.

convirgent: In evolutionary biology, convergence pertains to an evolutionary process wherein organisms evolve structures that have similar (analogous) structures or functions in spite of their evolutionary ancestors being very dissimilar or unrelated.
