Question 6

During a laboratory study of plant development, a single haploid moss spore germinates and undergoes synchronous mitotic cell divisions to form a multicellular protonema.

  • The first mitotic cell division takes 24 hours.
  • Each subsequent division takes 8 hours.

After exactly 3 days of growth, the protonema has a total volume of 6.4 × 10-4 mm3^33.

Calculate the mean volume of a single cell in the protonema after 3 days. Express your answer in standard form.
