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

Cell Cycle and Cell Division

Solution:

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