Bacteria is a unicellular organism which can multiply very fast by binary cell division.
To get a number of divisions required for cell division: you can use the formula: 2x^{number of generations} = number of bacteria
To get 256 bacteria:
2x^{n} = 256  (you can solve this equation by a calculator)
so:  n = 8 generations

With this formula the first bacteria is taken into consideration since 1 bacteria gives two, then the two give four, then eight, 16...

The article describes the former abundance of trees and forests on easter island. describe several factors that contributed to t
tester [92]

1. One of the main reasons for the extinction of the trees in the Eastern Island is the extinction or sudden demise of the birds that carried the seeds to different places. Some of the human activities would have also led to the process of extinction, like the trees were being cut to construct canoes and to use as tools in order to erect statues, and to burn them for warmth.  

2. There was a need to farm the trees and manage them in a proper framework. For example, if one is having 100 trees, then one should use 33 and then plant 33 seeds, and should always keep 34 intact. One should have not used all the trees at once.

Zielflug [23.3K]

Rhinoviruses are transmitted through the air or via contact. We might expect this sort of transmission to require a fairly healthy host (one who gets out and comes into contact with others) and, hence, to select against virulent strains. If we take precautions and try to stay away from people or avoid any contact with people, more hand-washing stations, increased attention to sanitization, and isolation of patients will help to reduce the transmission of the disease and, in the process, may favor the evolution of less virulent strains of the virus.
