a. True

Explanation:

Our physical characteristics are determined by DNA, a substance present in cells that organizes itself into 46 structures, the chromosomes. We inherited 23 chromosomes from our fathers and 23 from our mothers. In the formation of gametes (sperm and oocytes), each of these specialized reproduction cells receives half of our chromosomes.

For this reason, we can conclude that the information given in the question is true. Both mother and father contribute the same number of chromosomes to the child they produce. Neither normally contributes more than the other.
