Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both human egg and sperm have 23 chromosomes, which is half of the total number of chromosomes (46) found in most human cells. They combine during fertilization to form a zygote with a total of 46 chromosomes. The other options are not true as female ovaries release one mature egg per month, while male testes produce millions of sperm daily, and the size and motility of eggs and sperm are quite different.
