Q. An anther has 1200 pollen grains. How many PMCs must have been there to produce them?

 2555  241 Cell Cycle and Cell Division Report Error

Solution:

Meiosis of one Pollen Mother Cell (PMC) produces 4 haploid pollen grains. Thus, for producing 1200 pollen grains, 1200/4 = 300 PMCs are required.
