Why does sexual reproduction require both meiosis and syngamy?
A) The process of meiosis results in the production of gametes in which the number of chromosomes remains the same.During syngamy,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 meiosis results in the production of gametes in which the number of chromosomes is reduced by half.During syngamy,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 meiosis results in the production of gametes in which the number of chromosomes is doubled.During syngamy,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.
