Number of meiosis required to produce 100 functional megaspore in angiosperms
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
A megaspore mother cell, or megasporocyte, is a diploid cell in plants in which meiosis will occur, resulting in the production of four megaspores. In gymnosperms and angiosperms, only one of these four megaspores is functional at maturity, and the other three degenerate. So, one megaspore mother cell upon meiosis gives one viable megaspore. Hence, 100 meiosis are required to produce 100 functional megaspores in angiosperms.
