Solution

The correct option is A 23
The cells of the body/ non germinal cells have 46 chromosomes and they help in growth and development of the body. However, the germinal cells give rise to gametes- sperm and ova and have half the number of chromosomes- 23. These gametes solely help in the process of reproduction
