Explanation / Answer

Ans 1 :The cells divide so that the other worn out cells of the body can be replaced.

Ans 2 : Cells are small , so they can have maximum surface area to volume ratio. Due to this the materials and nutrients can get in and out of the cell easily.

Ans 3 : The cells need to stay small :

1) So that the ratio of surface are ato volume ratio is maximum

2) The nutrient exchange is easier

3) The different areas of cell can communicate easily if the cell is small.

Ans 4 : The genetic material of cell is DNA, which is contained in chromatin and chromosomes. Chromatin is DNA strand that is wrapped around the protein , and the chromosome is condensed form of chromatin.
