MediumIs the presence of a large number of chromosomes in an organism a hindrance to sexual reproduction? Justify your answer by giving suitable reasons.
(N/A) The presence of a large number of chromosomes in an organism is not a hindrance to sexual reproduction.
Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of gametes,which are formed through meiosis.
During meiosis,the chromosome number is halved,ensuring that the offspring receive the correct number of chromosomes from each parent.
For example,the butterfly has $380$ chromosomes,yet it reproduces sexually without any difficulty.
Therefore,the absolute number of chromosomes does not determine the ability of an organism to reproduce sexually.
