Question

The number of reduction division required to produce 100 seeds
is

Answer 1

For the formation of 100 Zygotes 125 meiotic divisions are needed. A zygote is formed by the fusion of a haploid male and female gamete; Thus to determine the number of total meiotic division to produce 100 zygotes the total number of meiotic divisions in males and females has to be considered.

Answer 2

one functional megaspore is produced during single meiotic division. Hence, 200 meiotic divisions in total are required to produce 100 seeds.

A zygote is formed by the fusion of a haploid male and female gamete; Thus to determine the number of total meiotic division to produce 100 zygotes the total number of meiotic divisions in males and females has to be considered.
