Best Answer

As a cell grows it requires more and more proteins to keep up with the tasks that are required for life. In order to create these proteins, a cell must repeatedly access it's nuclear dna. Over time the demand for quantity becomes to great for the DNA in the cell and either a crucial protein isn't made, or the DNA shears under the stress of being transcribed too often.

What is hospital induced volume overload?

Hospital induced volume overload is the over-infusion of fluids by a hospital. Overload can cause congestive heart failure, pulmonary edema, or generalized edema. (Edema is the collection of fluid outside of cells or veins.) Overload can be mild or life threatening. It is generally a correctable problem. --Mr. Dog


Why does DNA clump together in DNA extraction?

Single molecules of DNA are long and stringy. Each cell of your body contains six feet of DNA, but it's only one-millionth of an inch wide. To fit all of this DNA into your cells, it needs to be packed efficiently. To solve this problem, DNA twists tightly and clumps together inside cells. Even when you extract DNA from cells, it still clumps together, though not as much as it would inside the cell.


Out of bacterial cells animal cells and plant cells which contain DNA?

Bacterial cells, animal cells, and plant cells all have DNA. DNA contains information for the cell on how to perform tasks. In plant and animal cells, DNA is contained in a nucleus, unlike bacterial cells where DNA is contained in a nucleoid.Hope this helped
