Question

If tissue has at a given time 200 cells, cycles of mitosis undergone by original parental cell would be equal to 199.Why?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

this is because,

by one mitosis the cell divide into two

these cell divide to form 4 daughter cell by mitosis

we can simply see that to form 4 cell , the no. of mitosis done is 3

so we can find a simple formula to find the no. of mitosis done by the parent cell to form n no. of cell= (n-1)
