Every child receives 2 sets of 23 from his/her parents. One set from mom and one from dad ~ a 50/50 split, equaling a total of 46. It is the dad who will provide the chromosome that determines sex of the child.

And when one or more less, or one or more too many are passed on, then disorders occur. (Like Mongloidism, or Down syndrome)

How many chromosomes does each parent sex cell give to their offspring?

Each parent sex cell gives 23 chromosomes to their offspring in humans


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.


In humans how many chromosomes does each parent pass on to their off spring?

23 chromosomes are given from each parent.


How many chromosomes would be in an offspring?

An offspring typically inherits 23 chromosomes from each parent, resulting in a total of 46 chromosomes in humans.


How many chromosomes dose each parent pass to their offspring?

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.


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 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.


How many chromosomes are involved in asexual reproduction?

In asexual reproduction, a single parent cell gives rise to offspring without the involvement of gametes. The number of chromosomes involved in asexual reproduction is typically the same as the parent cell, resulting in genetically identical offspring. For example, in mitosis, the daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.


If one parent has 46 chromosomes and the other has parent has 62 chromosomes how many will the offspring have?

The offspring will have 54 chromosomes, which is the average of the parents' total number of chromosomes (46 + 62 = 108, average = 108/2 = 54).


In sexual reproduction what fraction of the offspring's genes is contributed by each parent?

In sexual reproduction, each parent contributes half of their genes to the offspring. This results in the offspring inheriting equal amounts of genetic information from both the mother and the father.


How many chromosomes come from each parent?

Each parent contributes half of their chromosomes to their offspring. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, with one member of each pair coming from the mother and the other from the father.


When two sex cells come together how many chromosomes does it's offspring have?

When two sex cells come together, the offspring typically has a total of 46 chromosomes, with 23 inherited from each parent. This combination of chromosomes determines the genetic makeup and characteristics of the offspring.
