Explain how, offsprings and parents of organisms reproducing sexually have the same number of chromosomes.

Open in App

Solution

Answer :
Gametes of sexually-reproducing animals have half the number of chromosomes as that of the parents. Thus, during fertilisation, when two gametes i.e. male and female gametes, fuse, the offspring produced will have the same amount of DNA or the same number of chromosomes as that of the parent.
