body cells?

Answer:

Because offspring with two parents will share half of each parent's DNA.

Explanation:

Sex cells contain half of the genetic information of an organism's regular cells. This is because a sexually-produced organism will be unique; it will share genetic information with both of its parents, rather than be identical to its bearer (like an asexual organism would be). When a sex cell meets another sex cell, their DNA will meet as well and change/adapt to suit the organism. If a sex cell had all the information needed to create an embyro, instead of half, which requires another cell's information to fill the DNA void.... well, it would just do it.

Which one to choose ?(please tell me if u have trouble seeing)
Flura [38]
The best answer to choose would be — “Weak winds that blow for short periods of time with a short fetch.”

Few factors determinate size of surfing waves:

1The weaker the wind speed, the shorter the wave.

The shorter amount of time that the wind blows, the shorter the wave.


Concluding my statement, and in opposition to the answer, it is the stronger winds along with a long period of time those winds with a long fetch that will be able to make the biggest waves.
