The original parental single cell has undergone 11 cycles.
Each cycle of mitosis produces two daughter cells.
It is calculated as = 2 number of cycles = number of daughter cells,
Therefore,
2048 = (2)n
where n is the number of cycles
Thus,
2048 = 2`11
= 2n → n = 11
Therefore, 11 cycles of mitosis are there in the original parental single cell.
