Division subdivides mass without increasing it. So one should not expect that an increase in cell division would make an organism bigger. Both classic and recent experiments confirm this simple rationale: altering proliferation produces normally sized body structures with either especially small or exceptionally large cells.
分裂会细分物质但不会增加其总量。因此，人们不应期望细胞分裂的增加会使生物体变大。经典实验和近期实验都证实了这个简单的道理：改变增殖会产生正常大小的身体结构，只是细胞要么特别小，要么异常大。
