The process of meiosis takes place in the mother cells of microspores and megaspores during the sexual reproduction process in angiosperms. One microspore mother cell in the anther will undergo one meiotic division, which will result in the formation of four microspores, each of which will grow into a pollen grain. The number of meiotic divisions that will be necessary when there are 100 pollen grains is equal to 100 divided by 4, which equals 25.

Therefore, only 25 meiotic divisions are produced for every 100 pollen grains that are produced.
