Solution
The correct option is D 125
In plants,
four male gametes are produced by a single microspore via meiosis. So, after 25
divisions, 100 male gametes will be produced. Also, one female gamete is
produced after a single meiotic division. Hence, 100 eggs will be produced in
100 divisions. Hence, a total of 125 meiotic divisions are required for the
formation of 100 wheat grains.So, the correct answer is '125'.
