How many cell divisions would it take to produce at least 1,000 cells from one cell? (When one cell splits in half during cell division, the result is two new cells. Each of those cells can divide into two more and so on.)

Answer (256?)

to do this you need to use indices:

1x2=2, 2x2=4 2x2x2=8.. . .
2^10(2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2) gives you 1024 cells so 10 divisions

I say Jerome is right.

that what i trying to find out my self

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Thanks

Sally is wrong because when one cell divided the two it crates both divide and the four than those two cells make those divide to make 8. u dummie sally

How many cell divisions it will take to produce 1000 new cells?

1000 divided by 2 equals to 500

Sally is correct

i would say 500 u dummies
