The number of chromosomes in parents and offsprings of a particular species undergoing sexual reproduction remain constant due to:
The number of chromosomes in parents and offsprings of a particular species remains constant due to:
विकल्प
doubling of chromosomes after zygote formation.
the halving of chromosomes during gamete formation.
doubling of chromosomes after gamete formation.
the halving of chromosomes after gamete formation.
उत्तर
The halving of chromosomes during gamete formation.
Explanation:
There are always half as many chromosomes in gametes as there are in an individual. As a result, chromosomes are cut in half just before gamete formation. The normal chromosome number (half from each gamete) is restored once the male gamete fuses with the female gamete.

| The most obvious outcome of the reproduction process is the generation of individuals of similar design, but in sexual reproduction they may not be exactly alike. The resemblances as well as differences are marked. The rules of heredity determine the process by which traits and characteristics are reliably inherited. Many experiments have been done to study the rules of inheritance. |
