How Inheritance Division Shapes Survival
Two daughter cells receiving equal shares from the mother: that's the familiar picture of division. But what if one gets almost everything and the other just crumbs? Stochastic modeling shows that sometimes unequal division is more advantageous. Each cell stores a protective reserve that helps it weather hardships. During division, this reserve is distributed between daughters.
