7. The number of chromosomes in parents and off-springs of a particular species remains constant due to ?

Halving of chromosomes after gamete formation

Doubling of chromosomes after gamete formation

Doubling of chromosomes after zygote formation

Halving of chromosomes during gamete formation

Answer: Halving of chromosomes during gamete formation

Explanation:

The number of chromosomes in parents and off-springs of a particular species remains constant due to halving of chromosome during gamete formation. The gametes are a special type of cells which contain only half of the amount of DNA as compared to normal cells of an organism. So when a male gamete combines with a female gamete during sexual reproduction, then the new cell “zygote” will have normal amount of DNA.
