Detailed explanation-1: -When a sperm and egg fuse, their genetic material combines to form one complete, diploid set of chromosomes. So, for each homologous pair of chromosomes in your genome, one of the homologues comes from your mom and the other from your dad.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: Your chromosomes come in pairs because humans are diploid. This means we get two copies of each chromosome, one copy from our mom and one copy from our dad.
Detailed explanation-3: -Chromosomes come in pairs. Normally, each cell in the human body has 23 pairs of chromosomes (46 total chromosomes). Half come from the mother; the other half come from the father. Two of the chromosomes (the X and the Y chromosome) determine your sex as male or female when you are born.
