Question

In the formation of 50 zygotes in a tobacco plant the minimum number of meiosis involved will be

Answer 1

For 50 zygote , u need 50 male and 50 female gametes .

Thus, by 1 meiosis 4 pollen grains are formed hence 13 meiosis will be required which actually will produce 52 pollen grains .

And 1 female gamete is produced by 1 meiosis, therefore for 50 we will need 50 meiosis .

Thus total 13+50 = 63 meiosis
