A horse has 64 chromosomes arranged as 32 pairs.
Since gametes are haploids, they would each contain haploid number of chromosomes, 15 chromosomes.
how many chromosomes are found in the body of a horse
There are 64 chromosomes in a horse's cell.
There are 23 in both a sperm and egg cell. These unite to form a zygote, which has 46 chromosomes.

Gametes are a specific class of cell, which contains chromosomes. Gametes are not a type of chromosome. Most cells in the human body are "diploid," which means they contain two copies of the 23 chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes. Of those, two are sex chromosomes: classified as X or Y. Gametes, however, are reproductive cells: egg cells in the female, and sperm cells in the male. Gametes are "haploid," which means they only contain one copy of of the 23 chromosomes, and only one sex chromosome (an X in an egg cell, or an X or Y in a sperm cell).
a human, gametes have 23. half the number of other cells
For human, a gamete has 23 chromosomes.Sex cell = 23chromosomes (n)Body cell = 46 chromosomes (2n)
For any number of chromosomes, suppose it was n, the number of gametes that will be produced by such a diploid cell is 2 ^ n. So for instance, if the cell has 10 chromosomes, you have to raise 2^10. Do the math, satisfy to yourself that this makes sense, because I'm not the one being graded on this problem- you are.
23 chromosomes
If it had 180 chromosomes in it's diploid stage (a normal body cell) you could expect to find 90 in its gametes.
