Tissue culture is a method to artificially cultivate tissue under laboratory conditions.
- A small part of the tissue is placed in the proper nutrient medium and propagation is induced.
- The cells use the nutrients provided and develop into tissue and subsequently organ.
- To calculate the number of cells formed we use the formula 2ⁿ where n is the time at which doubling is calculated.
- The number of cells formed after 5 hours = 2⁵ = 32 cells
- The number of cells formed after 10 hours = 2¹⁰ = 1024 cells
- The number of cells formed after 15 hours = 2¹⁵ = 32768 cells
