The proliferation of cells during the first weeks of human gestation is exponential.
If 2 cells are initially present after fertilization, and the cells divide on average every 12 hours, how many cells will there be after 7 days?
Assume continuous growth and round your answer to two significant digits.
:
Every 12 hrs means it divides 14 times in 7 days
2%2A%282%5E14%29 = 32768 cells
