Question
The chromosome number of a reproductive cell is-
- Same number
- Double number
- Half number
- Triple number.
Answer
half number
Explanation:
The chromosome number of a reproductive cell is half of the total number of chromosomes found in the somatic or body cells of an organism. This is because during sexual reproduction, two haploid gametes (sperm and ovum) combine to form a diploid zygote with a complete set of chromosomes. Therefore, the chromosome number of a reproductive cell is usually half of the diploid number.
