The time interval required for the formation of two cells from one is called the:
A) generation time
B) growth time
C) growth rate
D) exponential rate
E) log phase

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The generation time is the time interval required for a single cell to divide into two daughter cells. It is a measure of the growth rate of a population of cells and is an important parameter used in microbiology to understand bacterial growth kinetics. The other options (B, C, D, E) are not specifically related to the time interval required for cell division.
