Question

How many meiotic divisions are required for the formation of $100$ pollen grains ?

• A. $25$
• B. $100$
• C. $50$
• D. $26$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $25$

Since each microspore mother cell or pollen mother cell (PMC) or reduction division(meiosis) gives rise to 4 pollen grains. Hence $25$ meiosis are required to form $100$ pollen grains.
Hence, the correct answer is $25$.
