Question

If a tissue has at a given time 1024 cells, how many cycles of mitosis had the original parental single-cell undergone?

• A. 1024
• B. 512
• C. 10
• D. 256

Answer 1

The correct option is C 10

Each cycle produces 2 daughter cells. It is calculated by the formula $(2^{numberofcycles}=numberofdaughtercells).$Ten cycles are required to produce 1024 cells as follows :
$2^{10}=1024$.

So, the correct answer is '10'.
