Solution

The correct option is A 22
The chromosome is classified into two category autosome and sex chromosomes or allosomes. In humans, there are 23 pairs (46= 22 pairs autosomes + 2 sex chromosome) of the chromosome. But ovum is produced by the meiosis and hence have the half number of chromosomes i.e., 22 autosomes and 1 sex chromosome. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
