Mitosis is a process of cell reproduction in which one cell divides into two identical cells. E. coli is a fast-growing bacterium that is often responsible for food poisoning in uncooked meat. It can reproduce itself in 15 minutes. If you begin with 100 E. coli bacteria, how many will there be in 1 hour?

In the beginnig there are 100
After 15mi there are 2*100=200
After 30 minutes there will be 2*200 =

I think that you can finish this.
