Every time a cell divides, the number of cells doubles. Therefore, in order to calculate the number of cells that will be present after n divisions, we may use:
number = 2ⁿ
Here, n = 5. Thus,
2⁵
= 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2
= 32
The number of cells that result will be 32

When a female and male reproductive gametes fuse and fertilize to form a diploid cell is called a zygote.

It is a single-celled organism formed as a result of fertilization while embryos are the organism in which the division has started after zygote formation.

The number of cells an embryo will have:

Option A. 32

The division can be explained as:

The cells divide into two cells that is the number of cells doubles with every division.

  • The number of cells after division is represented as = n

  • The number of cells can be calculated by the following formula = [tex]2 ^{\text{n}}[/tex]

  • In the above case n = 5

So,

[tex]\begin{aligned}2 ^{5} &= 2\times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2\\& = 32 \\\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, 32 cells will be produced in the early embryo.
