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

Solution: Each cycle results in the formation of two daughter cells. The formula is (2 ^ number of cycles = number of daughter cells). Therefore, 2x=1024, which implies X=10.

So, if we check the other way round, to make 1024 fallow cells, ten cycles are required:

2 X10 =1024. Therefore, the parent will undergo 10 rounds of mitosis.
