Why does cell growth occur in the absence of cell division?

Solution
Cell growth
Cell development refers to an expansion in the mass of a cell, including both cytoplasmic and nuclear volume which is often seen when observed under a microscope.
Cell development happens when the general pace of cell biosynthesis i.e. creation of biomolecules or anabolism is more prominent than the general pace of cell death (the obliteration of biomolecules through the proteasome, lysosome or autophagy, or catabolism).
Cell development is observed without cell division for the production of large cells, to be specific oocytes and neurons.
Be that as it may, the early cleavage divisions of the undeveloped organism occur without any development, creating smaller cells each time it divides.
In adults cell division and development are managed by additional components, which ultimately work according to the prescribed genetic code for their sizes and growth.
