Explanation:
39 Is the chromosome number of zygote, embryonal cells and adult of a particular organism always constant? How is the constancy maintained in these three stages? Answer. Yes, zygote, embryonic cell and adult of a particular organism always constant have constant chromosome number.
ANSWER
The chromosome number of the zygote, embryonal cell and adult of a particular organism is always constant. Meiosis is the cell division which happens during gametogenesis. This results in a number of chromosomes getting halved in gametes. When fertilization happens, the number of chromosomes becomes equal to that in somatic cells. After that, mitosis takes place during the rest of the stages of life.
So, the constancy of chromosomal number is maintained in all the stages.
