Total number of meiotic division required for forming 100 zygotes/100 grains of wheat is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
125
Option C (125) is correct because 100 zygotes require 100 eggs (100 meiotic divisions in megasporogenesis) and 100 pollen grains, which require 25 meiotic divisions in microsporogenesis (since each meiotic division produces 4 pollen grains). Therefore, 100 + 25 = 125.
