Distributions of interdivision time in Powell’s formalism: h (black dashed line) and its measurable counterpart g (black line). The numerical data retrieved from the Monte–Carlo code (red points) are shown for comparison. In general, h lends more weight to the older cells than g, so that \({\tau }_{obs} < \,\mathrm{ln}(2)\)/\(D < {\tau }_{uno}\).
