Why does sexual reproduction require both meiosis and syngamy?
A) The process of mitosis results in the production of gametes in which the number of chromosomes remains the same.During sygamy,two gametes fuse to form a new cell,and the number of chromosomes is restored to the full amount.Therefore,by coupling meiosis and syngamy,the organism ensures that the proper number of chromosomes will be maintained.
B) The process of mitosis results in the production of gametes in which the number of chromosomes is reduced by half.During sygamy,two gametes fuse to form a new cell,and the number of chromosomes is restored to the full amount.Therefore,by coupling meiosis and syngamy,the organism ensures that the proper number of chromosomes will be maintained.
C) The process of mitosis results in the production of gametes in which the number of chromosomes is doubled.During sygamy,gametes are reduced by half,and the number of chromosomes is restored to the full amount.Therefore,by coupling meiosis and syngamy,the organism ensures that the proper number of chromosomes will be maintained.
