Text Solution

Verified by Experts

1 hour - 20 minutes

These are the 4 subsequent cell division to produce 16 cells and each division takes = 20 min
Total time `= 20 xx 4 = 80` minute or 1 hr 20 minutes
So, 1 cell produces 16 cells in 1 hour 20 minutes and
2 cell produces 32 cells in 1 hour 20 minutes.
