Question

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

Explanation:

La meiosis es una división celular que produce gametos. Los gametos son células sexuales con la mitad del número de cromosomas del organismo. Esto es importante porque cuando dos gametos se unen en la fertilización, el cigoto resultante tendrá el número correcto de cromosomas.

Answer:

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