How many mitotic divisions are needed for a single cell to make 128 cells?
Correct answer: C. 7
- A. 28
- B. 32
- C. 7
- D. 14
Explanation
(c) : Mitosis is an equational division where after division each cell produces two daughter cells, therefore after 7 divisions one cell will give 128 cells in case of mitosis. 1 1 ➡ 2 2➡ 4 3➡ 8 4➡ 16 5➡ 32 6➡ 64 7➡ 128
