How would you justify that growth and division are coordinated by multiple mechanisms in animal cells?

Solution

After some growth, cell division takes place.
Cell division:
Cell division is the process through which a cell divides its genetic material to reproduce itself.
This mechanism comes after straightforward binary fission in prokaryotes.
The process of DNA replication, followed by two rounds of division without a break in DNA replication, happens in eukaryotic cells to allow for sexual reproduction or vegetative development.
In animal cells, a variety of combinations of the frequently occurring processes are used to coordinate cell division and growth.
Regular levels of growth factors and mitogens, which function through separate signaling pathways, can sustain the size of the cell.
