Question:
How many meiotic divisions are required to produce 101 female gametophytes in an angiosperm? a)26 b)101 c)177 d)202
Answer:
In meiotic division, female gametophytes develop from megaspore mother cell. The megaspore mother cell produces four haploid megaspores in which three degenerate and only one matures to form the functional female gametophyte. Hence, to produce 101 female gametophytes in an angiosperm , 101 meiotic division are required.
So, option (b) 101
