In case this is one of those trick questions, (i.e. onecell divides 100 times), the answer is obviously 101.

Otherwise, the answer is not nearly as simple. 100 generations would in principle give you roughly 1030 cells.
However, a "typical" cell has something between 100 and 1000 femtoliters of volume, of which 90% is water. Consequently, 1030 cells would need something like 1016 to 1017 liters of water, which is about the equivalent of Lake Michigan. A cell body of that size is rather unlikely to be encountered. Nutrition and oxygenation of such a living mass is by no means trivial (or even realistic).

How many times does the cell divides during Meiosis?

The cell divides twice during meiosis, resulting in four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.


When a cell divides how many cells does it have?

When a cell divides into half, then two cells have emerged. The two cells can continue with the chain of dividing themselves into more halves. Each cell divides into two cells making a total of four cells. The number of cells that can cell can have when it divides, depends on how many times it has divided itself.
