200 seeds of pea would be produced from 200 pollen grains and 200 embryo sac. 200 pollen grains will be formed by 50 microspore mother cell while 200 embryo sac will be formed by 200 megaspore mother cell (because 3 will degenerate) so 250/500.

Each pollen has two layered wall. The outer layer is thick, tough, cuticularised called exine which is composed of a material called "sporopollenin". It is highly resistant to biological and physical decomposition, due to which pollens are preserved for a long time in fossils.
