Offspring are produced sexually by the fusion of haploid gamete (with 23 chromosomes). Two gametes (male and female) fuse together to form a zygote that give rise to a new individual. ... Hence both parents and offspring has equal number of chromosomes.

Answer 2

Answer:

Gamete formation is the first step in sexual reproduction. The gametes have half number of chromosomes as compared to that normal body cells. Reduction division (meiosis) takes place during gamete formation which halves the number of chromosomes in both male and female gametes. The original chromosome number (as in parent) is restored after fertilisation in sexual reproduction. This explains how, offspring and parents of organisms reproducing sexually have the same number of chromosomes.
