Detailed explanation-1: -The gametes are formed by meiosis during which the number of chromosomes are reduced to half, i.e. gametes contain haploid number of chromosomes. The male and female gametes fuse to form a zygote. In this way, meiosis maintains a chromosome number in species.
Detailed explanation-2: -During gamete formation, there is meiosis in which mother cell divides into 4 cells having a half number of chromosomes. In fertilization, male and female gametes fuse to form a zygote having the same number of chromosomes as parents. Hence, the number of chromosomes remains constant.
Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis. Thus, in the Mitosis cell division, the two resulting daughter cells always contain the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell from which they derive.
Detailed explanation-4: -Meiosis a type of cell division plays an important role for this. Thus, when two haploid germ cells from two individuals combine during sexual reproduction they form diploid zygote making number of chromosomes and the DNA content in the new generation same again.
