Vedclass · Answer

(D) i. $1$ microspore mother cell gives $4$ pollen grains. Therefore,$80$ pollen grains are produced by $80 / 4 = 20$ microspore mother cells.ii. Each mature pollen grain contains $1$ vegetative cell and $1$ generative cell. Thus,$80$ pollen grains contain $80$ vegetative cells and $80$ generative cells.iii. Each generative cell undergoes mitosis to produce $2$ male gametes. Therefore,$80$ generative cells produce $80 	imes 2 = 160$ male gametes.iv. The ratio of male gametes : vegetative cells : generative cells : microspore mother cells is $160 : 80 : 80 : 20$.Dividing by $20$,we get the ratio $8 : 4 : 4 : 1$.

Identify the correct ratio of male gametes,vegetative cells,generative cells and microspore mother cells produced in a microsporangium if $80$ pollen grains are released from it.
