At a temperature of 20 degree C the common amoeba reproduces by splitting in half every 24 hours. If we start with a single amoeba how many...will...

After one day  1 amoeba  by splitting in half becomes 2


After 2nd day  by  splitting  into the 2 , the 2 amoeba become   2*2 = 2^2


Similarly after After 3rd day the number  of them =4*2 = 8=2^3=2^3.


Generalising, the number of them after n days =2^n


So, after the 8th day, by splitting process  the number of  amoeba  =2^8 =  256


After  16 days the number of amoeba =2^16 = 65536
