In fission yeast, polarized cell growth stops during division and resumes after cell separation at the end that existed in the previous generation. It is unclear how growth occurs specifically at this end after cell division. Via a pedigree analysis of mutant cells which display a unique polarity phenotype, we show the existence of a memory of growth. This memory of growth exists at the pre-existing cell end, which grew in the previous generation, and facilitates growth at that end in the next generation. This memory of growth gives the pre-existing end some advantage in a competition for active Cdc42, …
