B 29. C 30. B 31. It has half the normal chromosome number/half of the genes. Sex cells are haploid/monoploid. 23 chromosomes in sex cells, 46 in body cells. 32. These processes reduce the amount of from each parent by half. Each parent only contributes half of the genetic information that is contained in his or her own cells. Each egg (or each sperm) will carry only half of the contained in the parent's body cells. 33. This process ensures that offspring will have all the needed. Fertilization restores the full number of chromosomes characteristic of the species. When the sperm and egg combine, the zygote will contain a full set of chromosomes. 34. mutation 35. Reproductive cells can pass on traits. Mutations that occur in sex cells can be passed on to offspring. The sperm cell contributes half of the for the embryo. The sperm and egg combine to form an embryo. 36. amino acids or peptides 37. The shape of the protein could change. The function of the protein could be different. It might form a different protein. 38. organelle cell tissue organ organism
