They have half the number of the somatic (parent) cell. So if a parent cell had 46 chromosomes in its nucleus, then its gamete would have 23(one chromosome from each pair).

Be produced by meosis.
It gives one of the gametes an extra chromosome and leaves the other gamete with one less chromosome.
That happens in Ana phase.When a chromosome is not split in centromere,a chromosome fully moves to a daughter cell.

Gametes normally contain only one set of chromosome – this number is called Haploid.
You'd be a multicellular diploid adult (2n=46)
No. Meiosis results in halving of chromosome number. Chromosome number after one round of meiosis is half that of original chromosome number. Generally, meiosis takes place during gamete formation. So when two gametes fuse, they lead to restoration of the chromosome number. Hence chromosome number can be maintained in sexually reproducing organisms.
The chromosome number in each gamete will be 14, which is half of the diploid number. During meiosis, the diploid cell undergoes two rounds of cell division to produce four haploid gametes, each containing 14 chromosomes.

Its haploid number, which will be half the number of chromosomes found in somatic (non-sex) cells - the diploid number.
