The number of chromosomes in parents and offsprings of a particular species remains constant due to :
(a) doubling of chromosomes after zygote formation
(b) the halving of chromosomes during gamete formation
(c) doubling of chromosomes after gamete formation
(d) the halving of chromosomes after gamete formation
(b) the halving of chromosomes during gamete formation
The gametes have half the number of chromosomes. After their fusion, the zygote thus formed has a full set of chromosomes. Therefore, the numbers of chromosomes in parents and offsprings of a particular species remain constant.
