A cell undergoes mitosis in 30 minutes. Find the number of cells produced after 24 hours if initially 10⁵ cells are present.
Options
- A2 24 × 10 5
- B2 48 × 10 5
- C2 48 + 10 5
- D48 × 10 5 -
Correct answer
B. 2 48 × 10 5
Step-by-step solution
A cell undergoes one round of mitosis in 30 minutes; thus, it undergoes 48 divisions in 24 hours. Hence, the number of cells produced is 2 48 . Each cell undergoes division, so the total number of cells produced is 2 48 × 10 5 .
