Here's the question-
Why will meisosis ensure that off spring have the same chromosome number as parents?

The DNA in the produced gametes from meiosis are haploid containing 23 chromosones (half). So when two gametes fuse togther during fertilisation this produces a diploid offspring with 46 chromosones- the same number as the parent.

Meiosis makes reproductive cells with half the normal number of chromosomes. These reproductive cells are called gametes and are the eggs and sperms.
When an egg and a sperm join together, each of them brings its "half set" of chromosomes. The resulting fertilized egg (zygote) has all the necessary chromosomes.
