Question
1.)Imagine that your liver, which has a volume of 2 liters, developed from a single embryonic precursor cell with a volume of 1000 m3, or 10-12 liters. How many cell division cycles would be required for the precursor cell to produce your mature liver? Determine the closest integral number.
2.)What if the control of liver organogenesis were a bit faulty, and the process went exactly 3 cell division cycles beyond this? What then would be the volume of your liver?
3.)What if the process halted exactly 3 divisions too soon? What would be the resulting volume of your liver?
Explanation / Answer
3 or 4 cell division required for production of 2 liter mature liver.
36 liter.
1 litre
