Answer 1

When each cell undergoes three rounds of mitosis, it will divide into 2 cells for each round of division.

Here's the breakdown:

1. After the first round of mitosis, each cell divides into 2 cells:
- 2 cells → 4 cells

2. After the second round, those 4 cells each divide again:
- 4 cells → 8 cells

3. After the third round, those 8 cells each divide once more:
- 8 cells → 16 cells

So, if you start with 2 cells and each undergoes 3 rounds of mitosis, you end up with 16 cells in total.

The correct response is **16**.
