Answer:
First, we need to find out how many germ cells form in just 1 hour.
For this, we divide the number of cells formed by total time
Total Time = 4 hours
No. of cells formed in 4hrs = 40,960
Cells formed in 1hr = 40960/4
=10240 cells
So, 10,240 cells are formed in 1hr of incubation
So, if we incubate it for 1 more hour, 10240 more cells will form
Total no. of cells after (4hrs + 1hr = 5hrs) 5hrs of incubation is (10240×5)
= 51,200 cells will be formed after a total of 5hr incubation

No. = Number
Hr/Hrs = Hour/Hours
