3. Were there any stages of the cell cycle that you did not observe? How can you explain this using evidence from the cell cycle? 4. As a cell grows, what happens to its surface area to volume ratio? (Hint: Think of a balloon being blown up). How does this ratio change with respect to cell division? 5. What is the function of mitosis in a cell that is about to divide? 6. What would happen if mitosis were uncontrolled? 7. How accurate were your time predictions for each stage of the cell cycle? 8. Discuss one observation that you found interesting while looking at the onion root tip cells.

The surface area of the cell increases to volume ratio

Explanation:

As a cell grows, the surface area of the cell increases to volume ratio. When cell division occurs, the surface area is distributed and each daughter cell have less surface area but with the passage of time, the surface area increases. The main function of mitosis is to increase the population of the cell, the cell must be divided into two daughter cells in the process of mitosis. Tumors occurs when the process of mitosis is uncontrollable. One observation that is found interesting while looking at the onion root tip cells is the multiplication of the cells by the process of mitosis.
