Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Human cells have 46 chromosomes, which can be organized into 23 pairs. Each parent contributes one set of 23 chromosomes to their offspring, resulting in a total of 46 chromosomes. Option A and D are incorrect as they either mention pairs or half pairs of chromosomes, which is not an accurate representation of the chromosome number in human cells. Option B is incorrect as it states only 23 chromosomes, which is only half of the total chromosome count in human cells.
