A cell that is to large will either starve it self to death or eventually explode.

What would happen to the amount of cellular DNA when cells divides if DNA replication did not occur?
If DNA replication did not occur, then when the cell divides the amount of DNA available would be divided. Half going into the knew cell the other half remaining in the parent cell. Each cell would then contain only half the number of chromosomes that it should have and would die fairly quickly.
Is the amount of DNA in a human body cell the same as the amount of DNA in a human egg cell?
No. The amount of DNA in human sperm cells is half of the amount found in body cells.
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! (:
What must happen to ensure successful cell division?
The cell must have sets of chromosomes with DNA. When they are separated, the new cell has an exact copy of the DNA from the original cell.
Where does DNA synthesis happen in the eukaryotic cell?
In the Nucleus

What packs DNA so tightly that large amount fit inside a cell?
proteins

How large is DNA?
There is approximately 6ft of DNA inside a single cell.
What happen during s phase of cell cycle?
cell duplicates its DNA
Where is the largest amount of DNA stored in a plant cell?
In the nucleus. However since chromosomes are in the Nucleus they contain the DNA a cell needs to survive. This is why it is in the Nucleus,
Which has more DNA plant or animal tissue?
The amount of DNA in a cell is dependent on the organism and how many copies of the genome are present in a single cell. The amount of DNA in a plant cell and animal cell cannot be directly compared. There is no way of telling which one contains more DNA unless we look at specific examples.

The cell must have sets of chromosomes with DNA. When they are separated, the new cell has an exact copy of the DNA from the original cell.
What happen in the interface during cell division?
the cell makes its DNA split in two
