Solution

The correct option is A
(i) Constant (ii) Parent

In spite of the differential division they undergo; they are very similar in the fact that the number of chromosomes is constant which are acquired in the form of haploid gametes from each parent to form a diploid zygote which in turn produces somatic or body cells of the offspring.
