Question

If there are 10^5 bacteria on culture medium .they are showing binary fission in each 20 minutes then after 80 minutes what number of total bacteria
1)10^5
2)2×10^5
3)8×10^5
4)16×10^5

Answer 1

Answer:

If there are 10^5 bacteria on culture medium .they are showing binary fission in each 20 minutes then after 80 minutes what number of total bacteria

1)10^5

2)2×10^5

3)8×10^5

4)16×10^5

Explanation:

If there are 10^5 bacteria on culture medium .they are showing binary fission in each 20 minutes then after 80 minutes what number of total bacteria

1)10^5

2)2×10^5

3)8×10^5

4)16×10^5

Answer 2

Answer:

4)16 * 10^5

Explanation:

as the bacteria divides once on 20 minutes so after 80 minutes the bacteria has divided 4 times that means

80/20=4

4 generations of bacteria are there so

2^4=16(as in binary fission it divides into 2 equal cells)

so 16*10^5
