A. 125

B. 100

C. 50

D. 25

Answer: Option D

Solution (By Examveda Team)

In angiosperms the number of meiotic divisions required to produce 100 microspores is 25.
Male gametes are formed by the process of microsporogenesis, and in this, 1 cycle leads to the formation of 4 pollen grains.
For 100 microspores, $$\frac{{100}}{4}$$ = 25 cycles of meiosis will be done.
