Question

In angiosperms, meiosis occurs at the time of:

• A. Flowers formation.
• B. Pollen grains formation.
• C. Seeds formation.
• D. Seeds germination.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Pollen grains formation.

• Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells.
• In angiosperms (flowering plants) meiosis takes place in the anthers as well as in the ovary to produce the male gametes (pollen grains) and female gametes (ovules) respectively.

So, the correct answer is 'B'.
