Question

In a normal gametogenesis: a. each egg and sperm cell contains a single sex chromosome b. all sperm cell contain the same kind and amount of DNA c. each egg
Options
A each egg and sperm cell contains a single sex chromosome
Correct Answer
B all sperm cell contain the same kind and amount of DNA
C each egg
D
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The question is incomplete, but option A is correct. In normal gametogenesis, each haploid gamete (egg or sperm) contains a single sex chromosome. In humans, eggs contain one X chromosome, and sperm contain either an X or a Y chromosome. Option B is false because sperm differ in whether they carry an X or Y chromosome, and thus can have slightly different DNA content.

Hint

Gametes are haploid, so they have one copy of each chromosome, including one sex chromosome.
