Interactions Among Chromosomes

https://biology-forums.com/index.php?topic=47023.28

Meiosis creates gametes (eggs and sperm) with only a single chromosome set (haploid or n) from parental cells with two chromosome sets (diploid or 2n). During fertilization, the haploid sperm (n) and egg (n) fuse, producing a diploid zygote (2n). The cells of the zygote then divide by mitosis (which does not change the ploidy level) to produce an adult organism (still 2n) of the next generation.

In sexual life cycles, meiosis and fertilization keep the number of chromosomes constant from generation to generation. Provide FeedbackContinueCorrect. Followup.
