Solution

The correct option is A 7
In mitosis, each cell divides into two. So starting from a single cell, the increase in a number of cells will occur as per the following progression- 1->2->4->8->16->32->64->128.
Thus a total of 7 divisions is required to produce 128 cells starting from a single cell or 2n times the division.
So, the correct answer is option A.
