Which of the following statements concerning chromosomal distribution is incorrect? a. All human somatic cells contain 23 chromosomal pairs for a total diploid number of 46 chromosomes. b. Each gamete contains 23 chromosomes, one member of each chromosomal pair. c. During meiotic division, the members of the chromosome pairs regroup themselves into the original combinations derived from the individual's mother and father for separation into haploid gametes. d. Sex determination depends on the combination of sex chromosomes, an XY combination being a genetic male and $\mathrm{XX}$ a genetic female. e. The sex chromosome content of the fertilizing sperm determines the sex of the offspring.

Which of the following statements is TRUE? Select one: a. In humans, the meiotic product containing the X chromosome will also contain the maternal set of chromosomes only. b. After the process of meiosis it is just as likely that the resulting Y chromosome will have recombined as it is that a somatic chromosome would have. c. In women, it is possible that the X chromosomes in the meiotic products could contain both maternal and paternal (of that woman) chromosomal material. d. During Meiosis, the maternal and paternal chromosomes will segregate as a complete set except for the bits that have recombined. e. None of the above are true
