No. One of the largest phenomenons in genetics and Biology is the C-value paradox: organisms such as flies may have significantly more DNA than animals as large as elephants. There is absolutely no correlation between the size of an animal and the amount of DNA it has in its genome. This is due to varying amounts of repeating and "nonsense" DNA present in any given species' genome.

Unless you are talking about the physical size of an organism's DNA, in which case all organisms have DNA made from the same nucleotide subunits which maintain the same size throughout all of creation. What changes is the amount of nucleotides, and therefore the size of the genome.

Why do bigger animals have more cells?

Because all cells are roughly the same size. This means that bigger animals are made of more cells than smaller animals. (If bigger animals had the same number of cells as smaller animals then the cells they were made of would have to be bigger in proportion to those that smaller animals were made of - and they are not)


Do bigger organism have bigger cells?

Bigger animals are bigger because they have more cells not bigger cells. You would think that this would be so, but cells can only function up to a certain size. So, no, they are not.


Does the giraffe have bigger cells than a bacteria or just more of them?

Girrafe is an eukaryotic organism while bacteria is procaryotic. As we know that eukaryotic organism has larger cells than prokaryotic organism so girrafe has larger cells than a bacterium.


How many cells do multi-cellular organism have?

More than one. The way of looking at it that most cells are the same size and therefore the bigger the multi cellular organism, the more cells there are in its makeup.


Does a big dog have bigger cells than a small dog?

A larger dog may have MORE cells than a smaller dog but they are not bigger.


Is a lion bigger than ant because its cells are larger?

The lion simply has more cells in its body; they're not any bigger or smaller.


Does a organism make more cells as it gets bigger?

Yes, organisms make more cells as they grow larger through a process called cell division. During cell division, a cell replicates its DNA and divides into two daughter cells, allowing the organism to increase in size and maintain its body functions.


Is a tissue bigger than a organism?

To answer this question as it is written: not necessarily. An organism (bacterium) can be smaller than tissue (the cartilage in my ears). By definition, an organism is more COMPLEX than a tissue, but not necessarily bigger.


How many cells do multi cellular organisms have?

Why is it beneficial way for cells to divide?

There are many reasons why cells divide. Here are some of them:* Growth - More cells=bigger organism * Repair - Colon and skin cells, for example, have to be constantly replaced as they are scraped off


Does a squirrel have less cells then a bear?

Yes, beacause a squirrel is alot smaller than a bear. The bigger the animal, the more the cells. Submited by a kid..... WOW


Growth hormones can make cells grow larger or smaller?

Growth hormones primarily signal for cells to grow larger and divide, which can result in overall tissue growth. They do not directly cause cells to shrink or decrease in size.
