What mark scheme says is that the doubling of the chromosome number is inevitable since the homologus chromosomes have to pair so if the the chromosome number has not doubled during the interphase it would have been possible to get a sterile hybrid just by the combination of two which itself is impossible under normal circumstances. I hope I didn't commplicate this further for you. :p
but i don't get it, why if the chromosome number didn't double during interphase , the hybrid would be sterile?

Yeah see the last two boxes one species has 28 chromosomes and other and 14 chromosomes, each of them gives one chromosome from every pair means the one with 28 gives 14 and the one with 14 gives 7 so both chromosomes combine and make 21 that is the haploid number so the diploid number is 42 (21*2) which is sterile as shown in the box.. <-- This was if the doubling of chromosomes didnt occur in the beginning had it occured then the chromsome number would have doubled as from the two boxes (28*2= 56 and 14*2 =28) and then the halving would have occured and this is what normally happens.

Not sure about that but this question can be a part of hormonal control etc since the answer is somewhere along those lines and that's very much in the syllabus.
yeah, what confuses is me is that some of the answers are present in the content of the book and while some others have not even been given as a cue by my book. the only i thing i know is that they reduced the content of human reproduction in 2016 syllabus.

Okay I will be truthful here.. I have the file because I bought the hard copy... So there is a cost... Every time someone fills up the survey.. I will get paid.. Yeah paid!! By sharecash which is a PPD network... So isn't it a good deal? ... You would get the scanned book for free and I would get some cash to cover up the cost of buying the book... So one last time... It is there bro... And that is why I am not uploading the actual file....
