The zygote must contain genetic information from the mother and from the father, so the gametes must contain half of the chromosomes found in normal body cells.

Answer:

The reduction of chromosomes in the gametes is necessary to make sexual reproduction possible, in which each parent contributes half of their chromosomes and in fertilization a cell with the complete amount of chromosomes is produced, the zygote.

Explanation:

The reduction of chromosomes to form gametes is done by meiosis, a reductive cell division. Sex cells or gametes are haploid cells, i.e. with half the chromosome charge, as each parent must contribute a gamete in the reproductive process.

The union of the parents' gametes is called fertilization and its product is the zygote, whose chromosome charge is complete or diploid.

<u>For a diploid zygote to be formed, it is necessary for the sex cells or gametes to be haploid, or with half of the chromosomes of the species.</u>.

What is happening during the pause phase when the heart is resting?
AveGali [126]
Because the heart has a very important task for the body, it follows a cycle called the cardiac cycle. The intervening pauses allows the blood to be emptied out completely from the atria and transferred to the ventricles before the ventricles finally pumps out the blood.
