Answer:

B. Egg and sperm cells must only have the number of chromosomes so that when they combine the number will equal 46.

Explanation:

The purpose of meiosis is to shuffle genetic information and cut the cellular chromosome number in half, from 46 chromosomes to 23 chromosomes. In this way, when an egg and sperm cell combine during fertilization, the resulting embryo will inherit the appropriate amount of unique genetic information from each parent.
