When a parent is going to have an offspring the offspring only gets half a chromosome from each parent, they combine to make one chromosome then that chromosome gets copied until there are 23 pairs of chromosome's. This is how you get your features.

You have 23 chromosomes from your father and 23chromosomes from your mother.

∙ 9y agoHuman reproductive cells carry twenty three chromosomes that are passed on to offspring. Human body cells contain a total of forty six chromosomes.

∙ 9y agoThe parent passes one half of its 2N chromosome count to its offspring or 1N. This means that if the parent's 2N chromosome count is 40 it will pass 20 chromosomes on to its offspring.

How many chromosomes does each offspring have?
4 because the parent cell has four chromosomes arranged in 2 pairs. Each offspring has 4 chromosomes, one pair from each parent.
How many chromosomes does each parent sex cell give to their offspring?
Each parent sex cell gives 23 chromosomes to their offspring in humans
Will offspring have more or less chromosomes?
Normally, a mammal offspring will have 46 chromosomes, the same number as each of their parents; half of those chromosomes will come from each parent. However, there are mutations which can cause exceptions to this. For example, offspring with Trisomy 21, more commonly known as Down Syndrome, have an extra 21st chromosome (instead of the usual two--one from each parent). Mutations like this can have effects that range from mild to fatal.
In humans how many chromosomes does each parent pass on to their off spring?
23 chromosomes are given from each parent.
Why do offspring that are produced through sexual reproduction show traits of each parent?
Because the one-half of the number of chromosomes are from the mother and father
How many chromosomes does each offspring have?
4 because the parent cell has four chromosomes arranged in 2 pairs. Each offspring has 4 chromosomes, one pair from each parent.
How many chromosomes does each parent sex cell give to their offspring?
Each parent sex cell gives 23 chromosomes to their offspring in humans
What types of chromosomes does each parent pass on to a child?
Each parent gives a baby 23 pairs or 46 chromosomes to the offspring
Each parent gives one set of what to the offspring?
chromosomes.
How many genes for each trait dose an offspring get from each parent?
2(:
When fertilization occurs offspring inherit?
One homologous chromosomes in a pair from each parent
Each parent donates a set of instructions called what to their offsprings?
The set of instructions for each characteristic passed from parent to offspring is called "genes", which are made up of complex molecules of DNA.
Why dont offspring of two parents look exactly like either parent?
Because an offspring gets 23 chromosomes from each parent through meiosis
How many chromosomes do they inherit from the parents like is it half or identical?
each parent gives half of its chromosomes, so the offspring will have full amount of chromosomes, two halves.
Will offspring have more or less chromosomes?
Normally, a mammal offspring will have 46 chromosomes, the same number as each of their parents; half of those chromosomes will come from each parent. However, there are mutations which can cause exceptions to this. For example, offspring with Trisomy 21, more commonly known as Down Syndrome, have an extra 21st chromosome (instead of the usual two--one from each parent). Mutations like this can have effects that range from mild to fatal.
How many pairs of chromosomes do each parent contribute to the fertilized egg?
Each parent donates 23 chromosomes to his/her child.....23 chromosomes from mother and 23 chromosomes from father makes a total of 46 chromosomes a healthy child.
In sexual reproduction what fraction of the offspring's genes is contributed by each parent?
Depending on the type of organism and how many chromosomes it has, all of them come from the parent when the organism splits in the process of mitosis.
