Question

How many reductional divisons are required to form 400 synergids?

Answer 1

400.Normally in meiosis(or reductional division)1 cell gives rise to 4 cells. But in case of formation of female gamete / gametophyte,three cell degenerate and only one function.Therefore to form 400 synergids(which is a part of female gametophyte),400 meiosis is required.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

I guess 400 meiotic divisions to form 400 synergids is wrong ... bcoz each functional megaspore after mitosis results in the formation of 2 synergids in a female gametophyte, so if 400 synergids are there then they must be the result of 200 meiotic divisions.....
