Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The number of generations can be calculated using the formula: number of generations = log2(final number of cells / initial number of cells). In this case, the initial number of cells is 4 and the final number of cells is 128, so the number of generations is log2(128 / 4) = log2(32) = 5.
