If a single cell divides into 2, and each divides again there'll be 4 cells. So, how many divisions will it take to reach 1024 cells?

Dear student

One mitotic division give rise to two cells hence for giving rise to 1024 cells 10 divisions are required. It can be calculated by the formula 2n, where n is the number of divisions. 
 210 = 1024.
Hence, n = 10.
