In a flower, anther has 4 microsporangia. Each microsporangium has 100 MMCs. Total pollen grains:
A100
B400
C1600 (4 × 100 × 4 pollen per MMC)
D800
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. 1600 (4 × 100 × 4 pollen per MMC)
4 microsporangia × 100 MMCs each = 400 MMCs. Each MMC → 4 pollen grains via meiosis. Total = 400 × 4 = 1600 pollen grains. Calculation key for NEET-style multiple-step questions.
