Question
How many megaspore mother cells are required to produce 100 eggs during meiosis?
Easy
Solution
1 megaspore mother cell will undergo meiosis and produce 4 haploid megaspores. Out of these 4 megaspores, 3 will degenerate and only 1 will remain functional. This functional megaspore undergoes mitosis and form 1 egg cell, 2 synergids, 2 polar nuclei and 3 antipodals. Therefore, 1 megaspore mother cell produce 1 egg cell. Hence, 100 megaspores will produce 100 eggs.
