The minimum number of meiosis required to produce 400 seeds in pea plant is... (a) 400 (b)500 (c)600 (d)200 (e)300
Meiotic divisions are responsible for gamete formation. To produce a single seed there should be 100 meiotic divisions to produce hundred egg cells. And 25 divisions to produce 100 pollen grains. So total 125 meiotic divisions are required to produce 100 wheat grains.Thus ,the minimum no. of meiosis required to produce 400 seeds in a pea plant is 500.
