It takes 8 mitotic division to produce 256 cells in a root tip cell
Explanation:
- Cell division is of two types. They are mitosis and meiosis.
- In mitosis the cell divides exponentially. There is increase in the cell number in double of that of the cells.
- The number of cells increases four times in case of meiotic division.
- In somatic cells such as the root top the growth is always by Mitosis.
- In increases from two to four then two eight then sixteen then thirty two, 64 then 128 and finally after 256 it forms 8 division.
