In flowering plants, male gametes are produced through the process of mitosis. Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells, each having the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.


To determine the number of mitosis divisions required to form 160 male gametes in flowering plants, we need to know the number of chromosomes in the male gametes. In flowering plants, the male gametes (pollen grains) are haploid, meaning they contain half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. For example, if the parent cell has 20 chromosomes, the pollen grain will have 10 chromosomes.

Assuming that the male gametes in flowering plants have 10 chromosomes, we can calculate the number of mitosis divisions required to form 160 male gametes as follows:

- Each mitosis division results in two identical daughter cells.
- To form 1 male gamete, one mitosis division is required, resulting in 2 identical daughter cells.
- Therefore, to form 160 male gametes, we need to perform 160 mitosis divisions.


In summary, 160 mitosis divisions are required to form 160 male gametes in flowering plants, assuming that the male gametes contain 10 chromosomes.

In mitotic division in flowering plants...
~ one division gives 2 gametes
:: 160 gametes formed by 80 mitotic division.
