In humans, during the fetal growth process, this would basically mean no body parts or organs would be formed and eventually the cells would die, and therefore the child would die. If the cells didn't replicate in people who are already born, then people wouldn't grow and again, the cells would eventually die. In plants, if cells didn't replicate, the plant would not form anything from the seed stage, and if it were a mature plant, then it would not grow and would eventually die. See the similarity between humans and plants?

What would happen to a cell if its membrane started to break down?
The organelles would spill everywhere and it would die
What would happen if a cell was as big as a basketball?
If a cell were as big as a basketball, organelles would have to increase in size to be proportionate to the actual cell. -Josh
What would happen if cytokinesis occurred before telophase was completed?
If cytokinesis took place before mitosis then the cell would not be able to divide evenly. This would cause one cell to have part of the organelles and the other cell to have to rest of the organelles.
What would happen to an organism that lost or never had the ability to replicate its DNA?
An organism that lost the ability to replicate its DNA would be unable to reproduce and pass on its genetic material to offspring, leading to its eventual extinction. If an organism never had the ability to replicate its DNA, it would not be able to grow, develop, or carry out essential biological functions necessary for survival.
Why are organelles non living?
Organelles are considered non-living because they do not exhibit all the characteristics of a living organism on their own. While organelles may have specific functions within a cell, they lack the ability to replicate independently, respond to stimuli, and carry out metabolic processes on their own. Organelles require the coordination of the entire cell in order to function and survive.
