Question

dna overload happens when the dna in the cell cannot keep up with the cells activities. why does this happen? we do not know why this happens. the cells surface - area - to - volume ratio is too low.

Explanation:

As a cell grows, its volume increases faster than its surface - area. A low surface - area - to - volume ratio means the cell has less surface area available for processes like nutrient and waste exchange relative to its volume. When this happens, the cell's demands for resources and regulation become too much for the DNA to manage, leading to DNA overload.

Answer:

The cell’s surface - area - to - volume ratio is too low.
