Because that's the process of meiosis. The daughter cells have to be have half the number of chromosomes than the parent cell. Half from your mother, half from your father.

What are examples of organisms reproducing sexually?
Us. All the animals you can see.
What are two main sources for genetic variation in a population?
Mutation and the genetic recombination in sexually reproducing organisms.
Which organisms are reproducing sexually?
As we all know there are single-celled organisms that reproduce by dividing which is a method of asexual reproduction and there are many-celled organisms such as plants(not all plants reproduce sexually) and animals that can reproduce sexually like tigers, loins, humans , dogs , cats , etc.
What is an important factor in increasing variety among sexually reproducing organisms?
Because male and female cross the age of 18 they are reproducing are sex
How do the organisms of each phylum reproduce?
It has many ways it can reproduce. So it can reproduce sexually or asexually.
How do gametes return to the diploid number of chromosomes for sexually reproducing organisms?
They merge.
What happen during meiosis?
the process of cell division in sexually reproducing organisms that reduces the # of chromosomes in reproductive cells
If meiosis did not occur in sexually reproducing organisms?
If meiosis did not occur in sexually reproducing organisms, the chromosome number would double in each generation. Sexual reproduction results in new combinations of genetic traits.
Where do sexually reproducing organisms inherit their alleles from?
From their parents.
In sexually reproducing organisms, genes are transferred via _______________?
The gametes.
In the organism reproducing sexually what is the number of chromosomes in the nucleus of the somatic cell?
google it.
What is meitoic?
The process of cell division in sexually reproducing organisms that reduces the number of chromosomes in reproductive cells from diploid to haploid, leading to the production of gametes in animals and spores in plants.
What will happen if cell do not undergo meiosis in sexually reproducing organisms?
There will be no reproduction
What are sources of genetic variation in sexually - reproducing organisms?
meiosisHuman recombination
What is the cause of variation in the offspring of sexually reproducing organisms?
recombination of alleles
How do sexually reproducing organisms produce gametes from diploid progenitors?
Through Meiosis
Where do you get chromosomes from?
The chromosomes in a karyotype are from a sample of body cells.
