Is it true that a cell's size increases its amount of DNA also increases?

Yes, The larger a cell becomes, the more demands the cell places on its DNA. In addition, a larger cell is less efficient in moving nutrients and waste materials across the cell membrane.
Hope this helped! (:

∙ 11y agoNot necessarily, it depends on why/how the cell is increasing in size. If the cell is increasing in size in preparation of division, the amount of DNA will also increase. If the cell is increasing in size for another reason, it is not expected that the amount of DNA will increase.

∙ 10y agoNo. The amount of DNA is determined by the species of the organism, not the size of its cells. All cells of the same organism have the same amount of DNA, except for its gametes, which have half the amount of DNA. Also, as a cell grows after mitotic cell division, the amount of DNA remains the same for that species, and does not increase.

Which organelle when increased in size causes plant cells to elongate?
The cell wall when increased in size causes plant cells to elongate. This is accompanied by increase in cytoplasmic contents also. Thus, the dry weight of the cell also increases with the elongation of cell wall.
What increases in order for a many celled organisms to grow?
The numbers of cells must grow if the organism is to increased in size.
The size of cells is limited by their?
Cells are limited in size by the rate at which substances needed by the cell can enter the cell through its surface. volume increases faster than surface area and homeostasis is disrupted by a cell that is too large
Cells are of small size because of consideration of?
Cells are of a small size because of consideration of the proportional relationship between surface area and volume. The size of cells also becomes a benefit when considering the rate at which cells die and are being replaced.
What are hypertrophied genitals?
Hypertrophied genitals is simply hypertrophy in a person's genitals. Hypertrophy is the increase in size of an organ due to the increase in size of its cells. (There is the same amount of cells, but they just get bigger) dont confuse this with hyperplasia which is the increase in the size of an organ due to the increase in number of cells.

The cell wall when increased in size causes plant cells to elongate. This is accompanied by increase in cytoplasmic contents also. Thus, the dry weight of the cell also increases with the elongation of cell wall.
Why do cells divide as an organism grows?
So that old or damaged cells can be replaced, and that new cells can form, which increases the size and strength of an organism.
What increases amount of solute in contact with solvent?
Smaller particle size for a start
How the size of the universe changed not the size or mass of the earth JUST the universe?
The Universe is continuously expanding. The distance between galaxies increases. The amount of space in the Universe increases.
Has the total number of cells in your body changed since your birth Explain?
Yes it has. In order to grow in height and weight your body needs to increase the amount of cells. Your bones need to increase in width and length in order to do this you require both more osteocytes and osteoblasts. Muscles on the other hand do not increase in cell number rather as they get larger there are surrounding satellite cells that merge with the preexisting cells. Blood vessels must increases in length which requires more endothelium cells as well as smooth muscle cells. Likewise the digestive tract and urinary tract increases in size which requires an increase in numbers of cells. Organ systems also increase in size and require more cells to do so. Hope that helps
Why do multi-cellular organisms need cell division?
They need to reproduce,increase in size. Also need to repair damaged cells
Why are cells very small explain the limits the size of the cells?
It's called the square-cube law. If an object (such as a cell) increases in size [say doubles] then its volume (or mass) goes up by the cube of the size, but its surface area increases only by the square of its size. Thus a doubling will produce a 4 fold increase in surface but an 8 fold increase in mass. Since cells depend on diffusion of molecules through its surface, it can outgrow its ability to acquire new materials (or to get ride of waste. This rule also limits the size of insects (actually all animals).
How did most of a dog's size increase take place?
Increase in the amount of cells
What increases in order for a many celled organisms to grow?
The numbers of cells must grow if the organism is to increased in size.
Can you measure the physical size of a resistor to determine its wattage?
there might be ways to get the power rating by measuring the size of the resistor. but as the physical size of the resistor increases, its power rating also increases..
How size of halogen anions affect their basic streangth?
As the size of halide ion increases its electron donating ability also increases so basic strength (As Lewis concept) also becomes increased.
