Chromosomes are inherited from our parents. During sexual reproduction, one set of chromosomes is contributed by the mother through the egg cell, and another set is contributed by the father through the sperm cell. When the sperm fertilizes the egg, the resulting zygote carries a unique combination of chromosomes from both parents.
