If a culture starts with 1 cell, how many cells will there be after 24 hours?

Question

Question 16
If a culture starts with 1 cell, how many cells will there be after 24 hours?
Question 17
How many cells would there be after another 24 hours? Explain.
Question 18
Is the original cell "dead" or does it disappear after mitosis? Explain.
Question 19
Starfish regrow limbs; geckos regrow tails; damaged adult human spinal cords impair mobility. Which type of cell is less likely to go through the cell cycle after damage? Support your answer.
Question 20
Occasionally cells stop dividing and enter G0. Liver cells replace up to 75% of damaged liver, but brain cells do not reproduce. Explain using the cell cycle.

Question 16: After 24 hours, assuming the cell divides once every 24 hours, there will be 2 cells. Question 17: After another 24 hours, each of the 2 cells will divide, resulting in 4 cells. This assumes a consistent rate of division. Question 18: The original cell is not "dead"; it divides to form two new cells. The original cell's components are distributed between the two daughter cells. Question 19: Damaged adult human spinal cord cells are less likely to go through the cell cycle after damage. This is due to their limited regenerative capacity compared to cells in organisms like starfish and geckos. Question 20: Liver cells can re-enter the cell cycle from G0 to regenerate and replace damaged tissue, while brain cells typically remain in G0 and do not divide, limiting their ability to regenerate.
