Why is it important to reduce the number of chromosomes in half when forming gametes for sexual reproduction?

Biology

Aleksandr [31]3 years ago

Each male and female sex cell has 46 chromosomes in it. The number of chromosomes are reduced to half(23), so that when the sex cells combine, they also add up to 46(23+23). If the chromosomes did not reduce to half, the number of chromosomes would be off balance and the gamete would not survive.

Why can't more than one sperm enter an egg?
Y_Kistochka [10]
<span>Only one sperm normally fuses with an egg because if more than one sperm fuses, through a process called polyspermy, development of the zygote usually stops.


</span>
<span>Fertilization of one egg by two sperm is possible, but the resulting zygote is almost never viable because such a zygote would have three sets of chromosomes instead of the normal two. This condition, called triploidy, is usually incompatible with life. Those rare triploid infants that do survive to term have severe and multiple birth defects and rarely live more than a few days. </span>
