Question

Why do offspring formed by sexual reproduction show more variations?

  1. Gametes come from only one parent.
  2. Because gametes come from both the parents.
  3. Because gametes come from only male parent.
  4. Because gametes come from only female parent. 

hintHint:

A zygote receives 50% of chromosome from each parent.

The correct answer is: Because gametes come from both the parents.


    • Fertilization results in the formation of zygote
    • A zygote if formed by the fusion of a male and a female gamete
    • The gametes are haploid which contains only one set of chromosomes
    • Zygote is diploid which inherits half of the chromosome from each of the parents
    • The offspring will exhibit variation due to the combination of maternal and paternal genes
