  • Q1
    What are the two main reasons that cells divide rather than continue to grow indefinitely?
    Inefficient movement of materials and decreasing cell volume
    DNA overload and inability to obtain nutrients
    Lack of nutrients and increasing demands on DNA

  • Q6
    Why is cell division important for solving the problem of increasing cell size?
    It increases the cell's DNA content

  • Q8
    Which of the following is NOT an advantage of asexual reproduction?
    Quick reproduction
    Requires only one parent

    30s
  • Q9
    What is a disadvantage of sexual reproduction compared to asexual reproduction?
    Requires two parents
    Lack of genetic diversity
    Does not involve cell division
    Slow reproduction rate
    30s
  • Q10
    What happens to the DNA content of a cell before it divides?
    It duplicates
    It is removed
    It decreases
    It remains the same

  • Q12
    In the context of cell growth, what is meant by "information overload"?
    The cell's DNA cannot meet the demands of a larger cell
    The cell is overloaded with nutrients
    The cell has too much DNA
    The cell has excess waste products
    30s
  • Q13

  • Q15
    What is one advantage of sexual reproduction?
    Genetic diversity for adaptability
    Quick reproduction rate
    Offspring are clones of parents
