alleryWhat permits exponential growth in a geometrically growing cell population?
ABoth daughter cells keep dividing
BOnly one daughter cell keeps dividing
CBoth daughters immediately mature
DNeither daughter receives nutrients
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Both daughter cells keep dividing
In geometrical growth, both progeny cells retain the ability to divide. Repeated division increases the dividing population exponentially while resources permit.
