Question
human sperm and egg cells contain 23 chromosomes each. the height of a human being is determined by genetic information stored in the chromosomes found in egg and sperm cells. when an egg and a sperm cell combine, they form a new cell containing 46 chromosomes with all the information necessary to determine height. this new cell further divides and develops into a human being. select the phrases that correctly complete the sentence. the height of a human is determined by the information found in chromosomes obta’ each parent one parent
Egg and sperm cells (gametes) each have 23 chromosomes, one from each parent's genetic material. When they combine, the new cell has 46 chromosomes (23 from each parent). So the genetic information determining height comes from chromosomes obtained from each parent. "One parent" is incorrect as both egg (maternal) and sperm (paternal) contribute.
