Excerpt from The Journal of Experimental Zoology, 1912, Vol. 12
But differences in the size of cells may be due, not to unequal cell division, but to unequal rates of division, or to unequal growth of cells subsequent to division. In some instances cells divide rarely and consequently become large, while adjoining cells divide frequently and therefore remain small. The fact that cells are not always of the same size at the time of division is one of capital importance for it shows conclusively that the factors which bring about cell division may be separated from those which cause growth.
