Yeast grows exponentially through budding. If one budding cycle takes 90 minutes, what will be the population of yeast after 144 hours if the initial population N0 = 5?(a) 480(b) 5 × 2^96(c) 96×2^5(d) 144×2^5I have been asked this question in an online interview.My query is from Biological Classification in chapter Biological Classification of Biology – Class 11

Answer»

The correct answer is (B) 5 × 2^96

Easy EXPLANATION: After 144 hours, NUMBER of budding CYCLES = 144 × 60/90 = 96 cycles.

Population after ‘n’ budding cycles = N0×2^n.

Population after 96 cycles = 5 × 2^96.
