Answer:
B
Explanation:
There are a total of 10^6 cells.Each cell divides.
After 2 doubling times there will be 4×10^6 cells.Now each cell has 1000 base pairs.The probability of getting a mutation is 10^-9.
If each cell has 1000 bp then 4×10^6 cells will have 4×10^9 base pairs.
Now use the probability here.
In a total of 4×10^9 bp there are 1 in 10^9 chances chances that mutation will occur.
so there are 4 in 4×10^9 chances that mutation will occur.
Now there 4 mutations can occur in bp of any cell even in a single cell.
so a mximum of 4 mutant cells can be made if all the 4 mutations occur in different cells and not the same. I hope you understood.
