Homotopy classes of maps into the skeleta of CW complexes












1












$begingroup$


Suppse $Y$ is a connected CW complex and $Y_n$ denotes the $n$-skeleton of $Y$. Suppose $X$ is a connected CW complex of dimension $n$. The inclusion $iota colon Y_n to Y$ yields a map $[X,Y_n] to [X,Y]$. Is this map surjective?



I was thinking as follows. For a map $Xto Y$ let be $X to Y_n$ a cellular map homotopic to the previous one. Is then this map $X to Y_n$ mapped onto the map $Xto Y$ by
the inclusion $iota$?

    Yes (up to homotopy).
