How Many Mitotic Division Produce 128 Cells

Introduction

7 mitotic divisions are required for the formation of 128 cells. Mitotic division is the process of cell division in which chromosomes replicate and then equally separated into two daughter cells.The cell is also called equational cell division because the number of chromosomes present in the parent cell is totally equal to the number of chromosomes present in the daughter cell. In this mitotic division segregation and combination does not take any place.

Now let's talk about the mitotic division in a bit detail:

Mitotic division needed to produce 128 cell

During Mitosis a single cell produces two daughter cells. We can easily find out the number of cells produced after mitotic division by using the “2n ''.Where ‘n’ stands for number of times the cell is dividing.

So,

• In the first mitotic division, one cell produces two daughter cells.

• In the second mitotic division, two cells produce four daughter cells.

• In the third mitotic division, four cells produce eight daughter cells.

• In the fourth mitotic division, eight cells produce sixteen daughter cells.

• In the fifth mitotic division, sixteen cells produce thirty two daughter cells.

• In the sixth mitotic division, thirty two cells produce sixty four daughter cells.

• In the seventh mitotic division, sixty four cells produce one hundred twenty eight daughter cells.

So,now we know that to produce 128 cells we need 7 mitotic divisions.

2.Importance of Mitotic Division

Mitotic division is very helpful for development and growth of multicellular organisms by increasing the cell count. It also repairs all the damage tissue and recovers the damage organ. It also ensures that the progeny produced by sexual reproduction always contain the correct number of chromosomes.

Conclusion

So,the mitotic division is an essential part of our life. In mitotic division multiple steps take place like cell chromosome condense and spindle assembly. This process also takes place in a eukaryotic cell and it ensures that each daughter cell always contains one exact copy of parent cell DNA.
