In a typical angiosperm, each microsporangium contains 16 pollen mother cells.The expected meiotic and mitotic divisions till gametogenesis per anther respectively will be- A)64 meiosis and 512 mitosis B)16 meiosis and 64 mitosis C)32 meiosis and 128 mitosis D)64 meiosis and 256 mitosis
16 PMC----> 64 nucleii (haploid) by meiosis. therefore no. of meiotic divisions is 16.
now, 12 degenerates from 64 nucleii, remains 52.
therefore no. of mitotic divisions = 52 * 3 = 156 mitotic divisions. hope its correct!!
