Meiosis reduces the number of chromosomes in half, resulting in gametes (sperm and egg) that only have 23 chromosomes (as opposed to the 23 pairs, or 46 total, that are found in normal body cells). Let's pretend that meiosis didn't do this and that the resulting gametes instead had 23 pairs/46 total chromosomes. Over the course of multiple generations of children, what would happen to the number of chromosomes in the body cells of humans?
Group of answer choices
O It would remain the same
O It would be cut in half with each generation
O It would double with each generation
