If a cell divides every 5 minutes for an hour how many cells will there be after 1 hour?

1hour=60minutes
5minutes=one division
60 divided by 5=12
1>>>>2>>>>4>>>>8>>>>16>>>>32>>>>64>>>>128>>>>256>>>>512>>>1024>>>>2048>>>>4096

12 divisions
60/5 = 12 divisions
2 raised to the 12th power = 4096 cells
This occurs because you start with one cell, which then divides in two (2 raised to the first power), then both these cells divide in two forming four cells (2 raised to the second power) and so fourth, until you get to 2 raised to the 12th power which equals 4096.

Wiki User
∙ 11y agoAssuming there's one cell to begin with, two cells. Really, you couldn't figure this out on your own?
Wiki User
∙ 7y agoAs there are 12 intervals of 5 minutes in 1 hour there should be 2**12 or 4096 cells after 1 hour.

It would Be 24. Cuz if you divide 60 by 5 its 12 x2 = 24

A cell divides every hour no cells die during a 12 hour period how many cells are left after 12 hours?
24?
What is cytokensis?
the process that divides a cells cytoplasm.
What happens after a cell divides?
By the time a normal cell divides you can assume that the cell has replicated all of its DNA. A factor that can stop normal cells from growing is contact with other cells.
When a cell divides how many cells does it have?
When a cell divides into half, then two cells have emerged. The two cells can continue with the chain of dividing themselves into more halves. Each cell divides into two cells making a total of four cells. The number of cells that can cell can have when it divides, depends on how many times it has divided itself.
In a eukaryote cell the process in which the cell divides into two independent identical cells is called?
The process is known as mitosis. During mitosis, the nucleus of the eukaryotic cell divides the chromosomes evenly. After the mitosis, the cell undergoes cytokinesis, which divides the cell in two to create two independent identical (daughter) cells.
If a cell divides every 2 minutes how many cells will there be in 14 minutes?
128

When does the cell divide into sister cells?
When the cells die out, it divides and create another cell
When a cells divides what kind of cell is made?
a daughter cell

what is one cell divides up into two identical daughter cells?
A somatic, or body, cell divides into two genetically identical daughter cells.
What is cytokensis?
the process that divides a cells cytoplasm.

What cell divides and organelles are distributed to both cells?
All cells
When a bacterial cell divides into two new cells what are the new cells called?
Daughter cells
How often is DNA?
DNA is copied every time a cell divides. Different types of cells divide at different rates.
