^Incorrect.

I assume you're talking about humans, in which case a healthy child will have 46 chromosomes. There are 22 pairs of autosomal chromosomes and the 2 sex ones (XX or XY).

What is the number of chromosomes in present offspring compared to the number of chromosomes in the parent organism during the process of cloning?

The number of chromosomes in the present offspring during cloning is the same as the parent organism, as the offspring inherits an exact genetic copy of the parent's DNA, including the same number of chromosomes.


Am organism that reproduces asexually will have offspring that have?

Same number of chromosomes


Do offspring that result from meiosis have twice as many chromosomes as their parents?

No, offspring resulting from meiosis have half the number of chromosomes as their parents. Meiosis involves two rounds of cell division that result in cells with half the original number of chromosomes. When two gametes combine during fertilization, the resulting offspring will have a complete set of chromosomes.


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


Why cant mitosis provide for the sexual reproduction of offspring that contain the same number of chromosomes as the parents?

Mitosis produces two identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. However, sexual reproduction requires the combination of genetic material from two parents to create offspring with genetic variation. This variation is achieved through meiosis, where the chromosome number is halved and genetic recombination occurs.


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).


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.


Why do reproductive cells need to have half the normal number of chromosomes?

Humans and other organisms that reproduce sexually need to have half the normal number of chromosomes to make sure their offspring have the same number of chromosomes as they do - the father and mother each contribute half of their chromosomes (sperm and egg).


Do gametes have a even or odd number of chromosomes?

Gametes have an odd number of chromosomes due to the process of meiosis, where the number of chromosomes is halved. This allows for the fusion of gametes during fertilization to produce offspring with the correct number of chromosomes.


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 do Suttons observations about chromosome numbers support the chromosomes theory of inheritance?

The Sutton's observation about chromosomes number support the chromosomes theory of inheritance because according to Sutton each sex cell had half the number of chromosomes as a body cell, which means that the offspring gets one allele from pair from each parent.


Can offspring tend to have only half the number of chromosomes as those in their parents?

YES
