Single-celled eukaryotes have few growth controls, including fewer checkpoints in the cell cycle.

Answer 1

The most accurate statement is:

Larger cells require more controlled growth in order to prevent errors.

This is because larger cells have more complex structures and functions, and improper growth or division can lead to more significant errors and malfunctions. In contrast, prokaryotes typically have fewer growth controls than eukaryotes, and smaller cells do not necessarily require more rapid growth; they may actually grow rapidly due to their metabolic efficiency. Single-celled eukaryotes often have well-defined checkpoints and controls despite being unicellular.
