Explain the difference between the division rate and the generation time

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Generation time (g) and division rate (v) are reciprocal values of each other; both are determined by monitoring exponential growth over time. Division rate is reported as the number of generations per time and is calculated by taking 1/g. The units for g are in time per generation, which is the doubling time during exponential growth.
