Solution:

For the formation of a single wheat grain we require egg cells and pollen grains. Usually, a single functional egg cell is formed at the end of meiosis. Therefore, for the formation of egg cells there should be meiotic division.
Single meiotic division in microspore mother cell produces functional pollen grain. Thus, produce 80 pollen grains the total number of meiotic division would be .
Therefore, in all, there will be meiotic division, for egg cells and division for pollen grain to produce wheat grains.
