To get 256 bacteria:
2x^{n} = 256  (you can solve this equation by a calculator)
so:  n = 8 generations

With this formula the first bacteria is taken into consideration since 1 bacteria gives two, then the two give four, then eight, 16...

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

They contain different genetic material.

Explanation:

DNA viruses contain DNA for genetic material while RNA viruses contain RNA.   When RNA viruses enter a host cell, they must convert their RNA into DNA.
