Question
Sexual reproduction is hindered by the presence of a large number of chromosomes in an organism. (True/False)
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
This statement is false. Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of haploid gametes to form a diploid zygote. The number of chromosomes in an organism does not hinder this process; in fact, mechanisms like meiosis ensure that chromosome number is halved in gametes, maintaining a constant number across generations.
Hint
Think about organisms like ferns or some plants with many chromosomes—they still reproduce sexually.
