Question

After cell division, each daughter cell

a. has more DNA in its nucleus than the parent cell.
b. has a higher surface area/volume ratio than the parent cell.
c. has a lower surface area/volume ratio than the pare

Answer 1

Option B, A higher surface area/volume ratio than the parent cell

Step-by-step explanation:

Before cell division, each parent cell expand itself and grow bigger in size. This growth is size and surface area of parent cell is much higher than the combined size and surface area of all the daughter cells produced.

Therefore, as this parent cell divides all its daughter cell have size and surface area higher than the parent cell. Due to higher surface area, the surface area/volume ratio is also high
