Question

The zygote is a single cell and human adult has about 100 trillion cells. Approximately how many divisions should the zygote undergo to form the adult, considering the fact that one cell division leads to the formation of two cells?

Answer 1

Answer: 47 Divisions

Step-by-step explanation:

We developed from a single-celled zygote by the process of mitosis and meiosis. The cells continued to divide until you were a multicelled organism. It would take 47 divisions to become an organism with 100 trillion cells.
