Answer 2

The right answer is B) chromosomes.

To form a new individual, each parent gives half of its chromosomes through male and female gametes. Each gamete is haploid (those of humans carry 23 chromosomes). The male and female gametes will eventually give a new individual wearing half of the chromosomes of both parents.
