Fully-grown adults are much larger in size than young children. what happens to the cells of the body during the growth of a child? a)the cells of a growing child divide to make more cells, and those cells are each half the size as the cells were before they divided. the cells do not grow before they divide again. b)the cells of a growing child divide to make more cells, and those cells grow to become the same size as the cells were just before they divided. c)the cells of the body of a growing child grow, but the number of cells stays the same. d)the size and number of cells in the body of a growing child stay the same

Children grow by the mitotic division of the vegetative cells in their bodies. The cells divide to make more cells that are similar both genetically and morphologically to the original cells.

Division of vegetative cells produces daughter cells that are exactly the same as parent cells. Diploid cells divide mitotically to produce diploid cells and an increase in the number of vegetative cells leads to growth in organisms.

I believe the answer to this is B.

This is because the child is growing so more cells are being produced and it is dividing.

hope this helped :) have a great day

an individual’s sex (i.e., whether they are a male or female) is determined by the sex chromosomes. most people have two sex chromosomes, one that is inherited from their mother and one that is inherited from their father. typically, females have two x chromosomes (xx) and males have one x chromosome and one y chromosome (xy). conditions caused by changes (“mutations”) in genes located on the x chromosome are considered x-linked.

x-linked recessive inheritance

most x-linked conditions are recessive. this means that in a person with two x chromosomes (most females), both copies of a gene (i.e., one on each x chromosome) must have a change or mutation whereas in a person with one x chromosome (most males), only one copy of a gene must have a mutation. a female with a mutation in one copy of a gene on the x chromosome is said to be a “carrier” for an x-linked condition. a male with a mutation in a gene on the x chromosome is typically affected with the condition. because females have two copies of the x chromosome and males have only one x chromosome, x-linked recessive diseases are more common among males than females. however, x-linked recessive diseases can occur in both males and females.

for x-linked recessive disorders, an unaffected carrier mother who has a mutation in a gene on the x chromosome can transmit either the x chromosome with this mutation or a “normal” x chromosome to her children. if the father is unaffected, none of her daughters will be affected and all of her daughters will be unaffected—since they will inherit at least one normal x chromosome from their father. however, each daughter will have a 50% chance of being an unaffected carrier like her mother and a 50% chance of both x chromosomes being normal.
