Half, because the ovum from the mother and the sperm from the father fuse together to form the zygote which will develop into the new human being, and the ovum and sperm, being gametes, each have half the number of chromosomes that you usually find in somatic cells (any other cell in the body that is not a gamete).
Fossils because they’re specimens found in layers of rock
The information stored in the order of bases is organized into genes: each gene contains information for making a functional product. The genetic information is first copied to another nucleic acid polymer, RNA (ribonucleic acid), preserving the order of the nucleotide bases. Genes that contain instructions for making proteins are converted to messenger RNA (mRNA). Some specialized genes contain instructions for making functional RNA molecules that don’t make proteins. These RNA molecules function by affecting cellular processes directly; for example some of these RNA molecules regulate the expression of mRNA. Other genes produce RNA molecules that are required for protein synthesis, transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA).
The big bang was the occurrence of two singular atoms making contact with each other in the endless void. It's considered to be the beginning because atoms make up everything. So when those two atoms made first contact it was a huge "bang" creating everything.
B) Fossil fuels take millions of years to form
