Answer: B

Solution: The gametes are produced by the process of meiosis where the number of chromosome in each gamete is halved. At the time of fertilization, the zygote thus formed has a full set of chromosomes. Therefore, the number of chromosomes in parents and offsprings of a species remain constant.
