Q)

How many generations of mitosis are required to produce 128 cells from a single cell of a root tip?


  • Explanation

    Each generation of mitosis produces 2 cells; therefore, each consecutive rounds would produce twice as many cells as they started with:

    Generation 1 = 2 cells

    Generation 2 = 4 cells

    Generation 3 = 8 cells

    Generation 4 = 16 cells

    Generation 5 = 32 cells

    Generation 6 = 64 cells

    Generation 7 = 128 cells
