As a cell increases in size, it usually does not make extra copies of DNA. If a cell were to grow without limit, an "information crisis" would occur.

True or false cell increases in size it usually makes extra copies of its DNA?
A cell does not make "extra copies" of DNA. Through a persons life, DNA can only be copied so many times. The only time DNA does "copy itself" would be if a new cell is needed. For example, your skin cells die all the time and are shedded off from your skins surface. Your skin then is going to get to the point where more cells are going to be made. The DNA replicating process is what starts the process of cell mitosis (making more cells). All the DNA in your body is used, so a cell does not make extra copies of DNA. If the DNA gets destroyed, that cell dies and is replaced by another.
Trisomy is a mutation that results in a cell having an extra?
A trisomy is a condition in which a person has three copies of a chromosome instead of the usual two copies. A person can have full trisomy (three copies in every cell) or mosaic trisomy (three copies in some cells but not all).
Interphase preparation for didision?
In the inter-phase preparation for division stage, the cell increases it's own size and copies it's own DNA. The inter-phase is referred to as the living phase of the cell and where the cell performs all of it's duties.
Is as cell surface area increases cell volume increases faster true?
Yes
If the volume of a cell increases its surface area will?
it increases
Does a cell increase in size and usually makes copies for its DNA?
True.When a cells size increases,it can't transfer enough nutrients throughout the cell if the cell size is big.So it makes copies of its DNA

As the volume of a cell increases what happebs to production of waste products?
They increase but there isn't enough surface area for the release of them so usually the cell divides.
Is as cell surface area increases cell volume increases faster true?
Yes
If the volume of a cell increases its surface area will?
it increases
How can one cell make copies of itself?
Cell Division or Mitosis
What is a Cell that has two copies of each chromosone called?
A cell with two copies of each chromosome is called a diploid cell. A cell with one copy is called a haploid cell.
What phase is when the cell grows and copies?
interphase
When do wbc increase?
The white cell count increase in your body when you get some bacterial infection, usually extra cellular type.
In mitosis how does a daughter cell compare with its parent cell?
A daughter cell and its parent cell are exact copies of each other.
