Gametes, or sex cells such as the sperm or ova contains half the number of chromosomes so that when they combine they have a normal and full set of chromosomes.

No, 29 chromosomes is not a normal number for a female. Typically, females have 46 chromosomes, consisting of two copies of 23 chromosomes.
what is the 2n chromosome number for a normal bug
Haploid (?)
A haploid cell contains 1n (half) the number of chromosomes as an normal, 2n, cell.
Each gamete, the sperm or the egg, is haploid and contains half the number of chromosomes of a normal cell. When the sperm and egg combine to form a zygote, the zygote becomes a diploid cell with the normal amount of chromosomes.
Cells are usually diploid and contain two of each chromosome. A normal human cell contains 46 chromosomes, however this number is dependent on the type of organism. For example, dogs have 78 chromosomes and cats have 38 chromosomes.
A sex cell contains half the number of chromosomes found in a somatic (normal) cell. Therefore a human sex cell would contain 23 chromosomes.

Humans and other organisms that reproduce sexually need to have half the normal number of chromosomes to make sure their offspring have the same number of chromosomes as they do - the father and mother each contribute half of their chromosomes (sperm and egg).

It varies from species to species. The human nucleus contains 46 chromosomes.
