Answer 1

Answer:

3) 800 is the answer is only correct

Answer 2

Hence the total number of  pollen mother cells found on a flower is 40.

Explanation:

• A set of four tetrads forms one mother pollen cell.
• The mother pollen cell can be defined as:
• The four microspores form a tetrad embedded within the callose wall of the pollen mother cell once meiosis is completed.
• One pollen mother cell produces 4 haploid pollens.
• Therefore the total number of mother pollen will be 40 x 1 = 40 mother cells.
• Hence the total number of  pollen mother cells found on a flower is 40.
