How many chromosomes in a pollen cell?

Answer 1

This is an impossible question to answer the way it is phrased. One needs to know what plant species is being discussed before the question can be answered. Each species will have a unique number of chromosomes and its pollen will have half as many as the parent species.

Answer 2

A pollen cell typically has half the number of chromosomes compared to a somatic cell. In many plant species, this means the pollen cell has 1 set of chromosomes (haploid), while somatic cells usually have 2 sets (diploid). So, the number of chromosomes in a pollen cell depends on the species, but it is usually half the diploid number.

Answer 3

Pollen cells are formed by division of the pollen mother cell. A pollen cell has half the number of chromosomes as the mother cell.

Answer 4

It varies from species to species
