Answer: 375 meiotic divisions.

Each seed comes from one ovule fertilized by one pollen grain. Female side: one megaspore mother cell gives one functional megaspore (one embryo sac), so 300 seeds need 300 meioses. Male side: one microspore mother cell gives 4 pollen grains, so 300 pollen grains need 300 ÷ 4 = 75 meioses. Total = 300 + 75 = 375.
