@msammonss Well, lets think about this logically, C and D can not be it, because you need 50% from your mom and 50% from your dad, so we can go ahead and knock of those two answers, now you are left with A and B. Do you know how many chromosomes every person has?

@msammonss well it's 46, so the answer would be A. lol :_0

OpenStudy (alphadxg):

So 46 chromosomes total, hence 50% from mom and dad = 46/2 = 23 from each parent that gives you the total 46 chromosomes.
