Question

State whether the following statement is true or false

The unfertilized human egg has half the number of chromosomes of the body cells.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Number of chromosomes in an unfertilized human egg:

1. An unfertilized human egg is a female gamete that after fusion with a male gamete can form a zygote that can develop into a full organism.
2. So both the male and female gametes before fertilization has only haploid (half the number of chromosomes) compared to other body cells

Final answer: The given statement is true
