There would 6 sex cells because, sex cells are diploid. Which is (1N) So for every set of chromosomes it has, there is only one. So just divide by 2.
example:
Fly has 12 somatic (body) cells
Fly has 6 sex cells
12/ 2= 6 sex cells
Bird has 28 somatic (body) cells
Bird has 14 sex cells
28/ 2= 14 sex cells
