It depends on the type of wheat used and where it is grown. The weight of one wheat grain varies with wheat variety, climate, season and a number of other environmental factors. The weight of the grains i usually measured in grams per 1000 grains (thousand-kernel-weight) or in grains per pound.

The example below is based on a table of thousand-kernel-weights or TKWs* for different types of wheat in Canada.

In 1 tonne of Canadian wheat you would get something like...

28,985,507.2 grains of Hard Red wheat at an average TKW of 34.5g

28,571,428.6 grains of Soft White wheat at an average TKW of 35g

23,809,523.8 grains of Extra Strong wheat at an average TKW of 43g

23,255,814.0 grains of Durum wheat at an average TKW of 44g

22,471,910.1 grains of Canada Prairie Spring wheat at an average TKW of 44.5g

How many meiosis shall be required to produce 100 grains of wheat?

To produce 100 grains of wheat, typically only one meiosis event is required per grain, as each grain develops from a single ovule. Since wheat is a diploid organism, one meiosis results in the formation of four haploid spores, but only one spore develops into a seed. Therefore, producing 100 grains of wheat requires one meiosis event, as long as there are enough ovules to develop into grains.

Not exactly. Gluten is contained in wheat, but is also found in several other grains, including rye and barley. A gluten free diet is wheat free, but a wheat free diet is NOT gluten free.
