KCET · BIOLOGY · STD 12 - 1. Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants
A flower has 10 stamens each having bilobed dithecous anther. If each microsporangium has 5 pollen mother cells, how many pollen grains would be produced by the flower?
- A 1600
- B 200
- C 400
- D 800
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) 800
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Total microsporangia = \( 10 \text{ stamens} \times 2 \text{ lobes/anther} \times 2 \text{ microsporangia/lobe} = 40 \) Total pollen mother cells = \( 40 \text{ microsporangia} \times 5 \text{ PMCs/microsporangium} = 200 \)
