Answer 1

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> The number of chromosomes in parents and offspring of a particular species remains constant due to the halving of chromosomes during gamete formation. This happens due to meiosis. The fusion of the haploid (n) gametes results in the formation of a diploid (2n) zygote, which restores the original chromosome number.
