In geometric growth, the total number of cells produced after four successive mitotic divisions will be __________

- A 2
- B 4
- C 12
- D 16
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) 16
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In geometric growth, cell divides mitotically into two. Here, both the daughter cells continue to divide and redivide repeatedly. So, after one mitotic division 2 daughter cells will be produced, 4 daughter cells at the end of two mitotic division, 8 daughter cells at the end of three mitotic division and 16 daughter cells at the end of four mitotic division.
