The answer is the first one: DNA overload.

Explanation:

  1. DNA Overload: This is the correct answer. As a cell grows, its volume increases faster than its surface area, which can lead to a situation where the cell's DNA cannot meet the demands of the larger cell. By dividing, the cell ensures that each daughter cell has a manageable amount of DNA to support its functions, preventing DNA overload.

  2. DNA Replication: This is incorrect in the context of the question. DNA replication is a process that occurs before cell division to ensure that each daughter cell receives an exact copy of the DNA. It is not something that cell division itself helps prevent; rather, it is a necessary step in the process of cell division.

In summary, cell division by mitosis helps prevent DNA overload by ensuring that each daughter cell has a sufficient amount of DNA to function properly.

Why are the equations (x+y-y=x) and (x-y+y=x) called identities? These equations are called identities because the variables can be replaced with any number, and after completing the operations, the result is the original number. I can test this by replacing the variables with numbers. If I replace (x) with 10 and (y) with 4, the resulting number sentence (10+4-4=10) is true. The other resulting number sentence (10-4+4=10) is also true.

A bond yield is defined as the rate that discounts all future cash flows and make its present value equal to the current market price. Given a 2-year bond with semiannual coupon payments of 5 and a face value of 100, and a current market price of 91, what is the yield of this bond? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
