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 chromosomes are found in a somatic cell of an offspring?
In humans, the somatic cells of an offspring have 46 chromosomes.
What structures carry genes to the offspring?
According to the chromosome theory of inheritance, genes are carried from parent to their offspring on chromosomes.
101 Dave has 46 chromosomes and Mary has 46 chromosomes Their offspring will have?
92
in asexual reproduction how many chromosomes is passed on from one parent to offspring?
how many (number of chromosomes are passed from parent to offspring in asexual reproduction
If one parent has 46 chromosomes and the other has parent has 62 chromosomes how many will the offspring have?
62 Chromosomes
How do offspring get the full 46 chromosomes that are in each cell?
the offspring have more cells than the parents.

What are the chromosomes that determine the sex of the offspring?
the X and Y chromosomes
What structures carry genes to the offspring?

Sporulation produces less offspring than budding?
No, sporulation produces more offspring.

in asexual reproduction how many chromosomes is passed on from one parent to offspring?
how many (number of chromosomes are passed from parent to offspring in asexual reproduction
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.
What is the probability of a male offspring?
you have a 50/50 chance of producing both a male and female offspring, it really depends on whether or not your offspring's DNA will have XY chromosomes (male) or XX chromosomes (female)
Do offspring that result from meiosis have twice as many chromosomes as their parents?
No, meosis is a process that ensures that the offspring will have the SAME number of chromosomes as their parents. Hope this helped!
What carries genes from parents to offspring?
The chromosomes are the ones that carry genes from parents to offspring. This is done through meiosis where sex cells are produced.
