Solution

The correct option is D 11 and 1024
Cell A shows arithmetic growth. In arithmetic growth, following mitotic cell division only one daughter cell continues to divide, while the other differentiates and matures . The number of cells present after n divisions is n+1. So the number of daughter cells produced are = (n+1) =10+1=11.

Cell B shows geometric growth. In geometric growth, after each division, the cell count doubles and number of daughter cells produced is 2ⁿ. So the number of daughter cells produced are = $2^{n} = 2^{10} = 1024$ .
