Julia stared into the salamander tank in horror. As an assistant in a pet shop, Julia had mistakenly put a small salamander in the same tank as a large one. Just as she realized her error, the large salamander had attacked and bit off one of the small salamander's limbs.

As you read this chapter, look for clues to help you predict the salamander's fate. Think about the cell processes that would be involved. Then, solve the mystery.
