Short Answer is: twice the number of Chromosomes as found in the gametic [Haploid] Cells.
For a species with three pair of chromosomes how many gametic combinations are possible?
they don't contain half, they contain the full amount of chromosomesEdited answer:Because reproductive cells (male & female gametes) are formed after undergoing meiosis to have only single set of chromosomes (haploid). After gametic union both parent contribute one set and hence double set of chromosomes with double amount of DNA is restores in the offspring.
Cells produced by meiosis are called daughter cells which contain one haploid of chromosomes. So, these cells are called haploid daughter cells.
Gametic [haploid] Cells are chromosome number n - which involves 23 individual chromosomes. Somatic [or diploid] Cells are chromosome number 2n - which involves 23 pairs of chromosomes. Mitotic Cells are 4n.
The gamete would contain half the number of chromosomes as the tetraploid parent cell.
Autosomes are the somatic chromosomes which control the body characters or somatic characters and sex chromosomes help in the determination of sex at the time of gametic union to form the zygote.

Meiosis produces gametes which have only one set of chromosomes for that species.

Somatic cells or body cells have a dipliod or full set of chromosomes. Gametes or sex cells, also called germ cells, have a hapliod number of chromosomes or half the number. Sperm and eggs are the gametes of humans, and you misspelled cell.......... artard
Gametes are sex cells - sperm and egg. Other cells are somatic cells - regular body and organ cells. Also, gametes have half the number of chromosomes as somatic cells do. This is because, when the zygote is formed (sperm and egg form together) they take their chromosomes together to make the number of chromosomes a somatic cell has.
Short Answer: the [it appears] one, extra, cellular process that only Meiotic Cells possess is termed "Chromosome Reduction"; we have seen (elsewhere) that this process results in the reduction of Chromosome Number from the mitotic {somatic} 2N to the Meiotic {gametic} 1N.
Cells produced by meiosis are called daughter cells which contain one haploid of chromosomes. So, these cells are called haploid daughter cells.
