Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is (C) The boy and girl inherit genetic material from both parents.

Explanation:

Inheritance — is the process by which genetic information is passed on from parent to child.

Most of our cells contain two sets of 23 chromosomes(they are diploid).

An exception to this rule are the sex cells egg(in mother) and sperm(in father), also known as gametes, which only have one set of chromosomes each (they are haploid).

In sexual reproduction the sperm cell (of father) combines with the egg cell (of mother) to form the first cell of the new organism in a process called fertilisation.

This cell (the fertilised egg) has two sets of 23 chromosomes (diploid) .

Each of the cells in the new person contains genetic material from the two parents.
