Answer
Cell division is the process by which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells.
Generation time is 1 minute means after every min. The cell is going to be double of its initial value.
In 20 mins culture tube ->1/8 filled
Means after 1 min it will be doubled so in 21-minute culture tube will be 1/8 *2 = 1/4 quarterly filled
Again after 1 min. It will be 1/4 *2=1/2 half filled
Again after 1 min, it will be1/2*2 = 1 (fully filled)
means in 23 minutes vessel will be completely filled.
So, the correct answer is '23 minutes'.
