Question

number of mitotic division and number of generation required to produce 32 cells from a single cell are respectively​

Answer 1

For a single cell to produce 32 cells, 31 mitotic divisions are required.

From the first cell, 2 cells are produced (1 mitotic division). Then these 2 cells are divided into 4 cells (2 mitotic division). Then from these 4 cells, by mitosis, 8 cells are produced (4 mitotic division). Then from these 8 cells, 16 cells are produced (8 mitotic division). Then from these 16 cells, 32 cells are produced (16 mitotic division). If you add all the mitotic divisions (written in brackets), you will get 31 mitotic divisions in total.
