How does meiosis make sure that a baby has the same number of chromosomes as a parent? O A. Each parent mixes the DNA of their parents before putting it in an egg or sperm. B. Each parent only puts half of their DNA into each egg or sperm so together they make the same number as one adult has. C. It doesn't. The amount of DNA in a child is always twice the amount as one of its parents because it got DNA from two parents. O D. The number of crossing over events is always an even number.
