Explain how, offsprings and parents of organisms reproducing sexually have the same number of chromosomes.

The offsprings and parents of organisms reproducing sexually have same number of chromosomes due to reduction division (meiosis) during gamete formation which reduces the number of chromosomes into half in both male and female gametes.

During fertilisation when male and female gametes fuse the original numbers of chromosomes as in parents is restored in the offspring.
