MCQ

उत्तर

One meiotic and two mitotic

Explanation:

During microsporogenesis, microsporocytes undergo:

  1. One meiotic division: To produce a tetrad of four haploid microspores. The released microspores undergo a highly asymmetric division.
  2. 1st Mitosis: To produce a bicellular pollen grain with a small germ cell engulfed within the cytoplasm of a large vegetative cell. The germ cell undergoes a further mitotic division.
  3. 2nd Mitosis: To produce twin sperm cells.

So the correct answer is one meiotic and two mitotic divisions.
