Number of meiotic divisions required to produce 200/400 seeds of Pea would be

1. 200/400
2. 400/800
3. 300/600
4. 250/500

Correct answer: 200/400

Solution

Each seed develops from one ovule, and one functional megaspore from a single meiotic event in the female line is enough to form that ovule. So the number of meiotic divisions required matches the number of seeds.
