Solution
The correct option is B 600
Meiosis uses a megaspore mother cell to create a megaspore tetrad in which each cell is a megaspore. But only one of them is functional and the remaining 3 cells degenerate.Hence , one megaspore mother cell gives one functional megaspore. 1 megaspore mother cell = 1 functional megaspore. 600 megaspore mother cells = 600 functional megaspores.Therefore , In an angiosperm , 600 megaspore mother cells are required to produce 600 functional megaspores.
