Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process of gametogenesis produces haploid gametes, which have only half the number of chromosomes as the original cell. This allows fertilization to result in a cell with the correct number of chromosomes for that species.

Answer: B is incorrect because human sperm has only 23 chromosomes, not 46 as it undergoes meiosis to reduce the chromosome number by half.

Answer: A is incorrect because gametogenesis results in haploid gametes, not diploid gametes.

Answer: D is incorrect because gametogenesis occurs in both males and females.
