How many cells would you have after 20 generations when you start with 1 cell?

If cells split in half, and do not die, then you have:
1 --> 2 --> 4 --> 8 ...
20 --> 21 --> 22 --> 23 ...
Ok, so let's assume the first generation has 1 cell...
So the 20th generation would have 219 (2(20-1)) cells.
So you would get 524,288 cells in the 20th generation, or 1,048,576 cells in the 21st generation.
I suppose I might actually take the 1,048,576 number as being the 21st generation is AFTER 20 generations.

How many cells can be produced if one cell goes through mitosis and cytokinesis?
Two, because the cell splits itself in half.
What structure within a cell is most likely to play a major role in the development of generations of cancer cells?
The DNA inside the cell is the part that mutates and turns a cell into cancer.
How would you know if a cell was a plant cell and not a root cell?
Root cells are plant cells, but they do not contain chloroplasts like leaf cells.
What is the ability of a specific immune cell to proliferate and form many generations of nearly identical cells called?
The ability of a specific immune cell to proliferate and form many generations of nearly identical cells is called clonal expansion. During clonal expansion, activated immune cells undergo multiple rounds of cell division, resulting in the production of numerous identical daughter cells that can mount a coordinated immune response against the targeted pathogen or antigen.
What is the cell structure that would prevent a cells from rupturing?
cell wall
Are transformed cells capable of passing their newly-acquired traits onto succeeding generations?
Yes, transformed cells have the ability to pass their newly-acquired traits onto succeeding generations. This is because the transformation process often involves integrating foreign genetic material into the cell's genome, which can be inherited by daughter cells during cell division. As a result, the traits conferred by the transformed cells can be maintained and passed on to subsequent generations.
What cells start with the letter a?
animal Cell!
Why would sugar start to go in a cell if you put them on a plate?
Cells will absorb sugar by means of osmosis.

In what form do egg cells start out as?
Germ cell
How would you know if a cell was a plant cell and not a root cell?
Root cells are plant cells, but they do not contain chloroplasts like leaf cells.
How many cells does mitosis start with?
mitosis start with one cell and finish with 2 identical cells
What cells would form cell plate during the cell cycle?
Cells that contain a cell wall, such as plant cells, form a cell plate to separate cells before the cell wall forms.a prokaryotic
If a particular type of cell completes one cell cycle in 75 minutes and you start with one cell how many cells would be present after 7.5 hours?
64 Cells. At 75 minutes per cycle, and an allotted time of 7.5 hours there would be enough time for 6 cycles to complete. Cell replication can be represented as 2^X, where X is the number of cycles. Basically meaning that after the first cycle (assuming you are starting with 1 cell) you would have 2 cells, and those 2 cells will multiply exponentially. So the cycles and cell yield would go as follows: Cycle 1: 2 cells 2: 4 cells 3: 8 cells 4: 16 cells 5: 32 cells 6: 64 cells
Does cancer start when cells stop growing and dividing?
everybody is born with cancer cell. No cancer does not start when cells have stoped growing and dividing. it is simply because the cancer cells are getting agrrivated witch makes it start.
