This Demonstration allows students to graphically explore the final number of bacterial cells that result when bacteria are placed in favorable, unrestrained cell-growth conditions for multiple reproductive cycles (generations). The basic formula applied is:
numberofcellsatgenerationn=initialnumberofcells×
