Answer: B. geometric growth

Answer: (b) geometric growth

In geometric growth both daughter cells produced by mitosis retain the ability to divide, so the number of cells doubles each generation (1, 2, 4, 8 …) and the growth curve is sigmoid. In arithmetic growth only one daughter cell continues to divide while the other differentiates.
