Question

The ratio between the number of meiotic division required for the formation of 800 male gametes and 100 female gametes from their respective spore mother cells is:-

• A. 100 : 100
• B. 200 : 100
• C. 100 : 50
• D. 200 : 50

Answer 1

The correct option is A 100 : 100

8 male gametes are produced from 1 spore mother cell.

Whereas 1 female Gamete is produced from 1 mother cell.

For production of 800 male gametes 100 microspore mother cells are required.

For production of 100 female gametes 100 megaspore mother cells are required.

So the correct answer is ' 1:1 '.
