Each colony type was serially cloned and the proliferative capacity of each clone determined. Colony size was used to estimate the number of cell divisions at each generation displayed as mean cell number and minimum number of cell divisions in brackets. The sum of divisions at each generation provides an estimate of how many total cell divisions the original cell which formed the original colony of each type can undergo.
