We know that a single cell produces two daughter cells during mitosis.
So, the number of cells after specific cycles of mitotic division in the cell be determined using the value of

2^{n}

.
where, '

n

' is the number of cycles of mitosis taking place in all cells.
It is given that number of cells produced through mitosis is 128 .
So,

2^{7} = 128

.
which means 7 cycles of mitotic division must have taken place resulting in 128 cells from a single cell.
