Evolution of cell size control is canalized towards adders or sizers by cell cycle structure and selective pressures

Cell size is controlled to be within a specific range to support physiological function. To control their size, cells use diverse mechanisms ranging from ‘sizers’, in which differences in cell size are compensated for in a single cell division cycle, to ‘adders’, in which a constant amount of cell g...
