Question

13 why is meiosis important for sexual reproduction? a it allows gametes to have half the original number of chromosomes of the organism. b it allows the zygote formed from fertilization to have half the original number of chromosomes of the organism. c it allows the zygote formed from fertilization to have triple the chromosome number of the organism. d it allows gametes to have twice the original number of chromosomes of the organism.

Explanation:

La meiosis es una división celular que produce gametos. Estos gametos tienen la mitad del número de cromosomas del organismo progenitor. Esto es crucial para la reproducción sexual porque cuando dos gametos (un óvulo y un espermatozoide) se fusionan durante la fertilización, el cigoto resultante tendrá el número correcto de cromosomas para el organismo.

Answer:

A. It allows gametes to have half the original number of chromosomes of the organism.
