4. In studying a eukaryotic organism C. godshalkae, recently discovered on an asteroid floating in space, you find that it has a rather unusual meiosis. In C. godshalkae, cells destined to undergo meiosis skip S-phase, and then undergo only the first meiotic division. Draw out prophase, metaphase, and anaphase of meiosis, and the daughter cells produced by C. godshalkae showing the chromosomes. Assume C. godshalkae is diploid with three pairs of homologous chromosomes. What are the consequences of this unusual type of meiosis?

c is the answer : )               your welcome

the correct option is option d

2%? i tried finding the exact sorry if it's not 100% correct ; -;

cells use diffusion to get substances in and out of themselves. that diffusion will occur across the cell membrane or the outer covering of the cell. because we are talking about the surface of the cell, surface area and volume are  important factors here. as a cell increases in size, its surface area and volume increase as well.  we call that the surface area to volume ratio (sa: vol).  but the catch is that  volume increases at a greater rate than surface  area. in other words, as a cell gets bigger, the sa: vol gets smaller. so a really small cell like bacteria is mostly cell membrane (surface) with very little contents (volume). a really big cell like an egg, is mostly insides with a super thin membrane. so what ends up happening is that the cell cannot efficiently diffuse all of the stuff it needs in/out to survive. therefore cell size is limited to about 100mm. so how do we make organisms bigger than 100mm? cells divide! by dividing and becoming multicellular, organisms are able to grow!   check out the diagrams i attached to see the effect of sa: vol. i hope this ! good luck!
