Due to meiosis and fertilization, the number of chromosomes in cells from generation to generation

Due to meiosis and fertilization, the number of chromosomes in cells from generation to generation 1-decreases 2-remains constant 3-increases 4-changes regularly

The number of chromosomes remains the same from generation to generation. This applies to both somatic and germ cells. Let us recall that somatic cells contain a complete chromosome set. In humans, these are 46 chromosomes. Sex cells contain only half of the chromosome set, that is, two times less than in somatic cells. When cells divide, the number of chromosomes doubles. So their number after division becomes normal. Therefore, the offspring have the same number of chromosomes as the parents.
