Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The sperm shares the genetic code of the man; the egg shares the genetic code of the woman. It is only in combination, when the 23 chromosomes from the father join the 23 chromosomes from the mother, through fertilization, that a new, biologically-distinct human beings comes into existence.
