Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, with 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes. During gamete formation, the chromosome number is halved, resulting in gametes with 23 chromosomes. Therefore, the organism that has 20 chromosomes in one of its gametes would not be human.
Homologous pairs of chromosomes are not normally found in gametes, which are reproductive cells such as eggs and sperm. This is because gametes are haploid, meaning they only contain one set of chromosomes, while homologous pairs consist of two sets of matching chromosomes.
All cells except gametes have a nucleus that contains 46 chromosomes arranged into pairs.

An organism with a diploid number of six chromosomes has three pairs of chromosomes (2n = 6). During meiosis, independent assortment allows for the random distribution of these chromosome pairs into gametes. The number of unique gametes produced can be calculated using the formula (2^n), where (n) is the number of chromosome pairs. Thus, for this organism, (2^3 = 8) unique gametes can be produced via independent assortment.
Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, with 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes. During gamete formation, the chromosome number is halved, resulting in gametes with 23 chromosomes. Therefore, the organism that has 20 chromosomes in one of its gametes would not be human.

In human gametes, chromosomes are not paired. Instead, each gamete has one set of 23 chromosomes, and is said to be haploid.
the random distribution of the pairs of genes on different chromosomes to the gametes
There are 23 pairs of chromosomes in all about 100 trillion body cells minus 25 trillion red blood cells and gametes. Red blood cells have no nucleus and so no chromosomes and gametes have half of them.
An organism with six pairs of chromosomes (12 total) will produce 2^12 (4096) different genetically unique gametes.
All cells except gametes have a nucleus that contains 46 chromosomes arranged into pairs.
Gametes, such as sperm and egg cells in humans, contain half the number of chromosomes compared to other cells in the body. This means that in humans, gametes have 23 chromosomes each, instead of the usual 46 chromosomes found in most body cells.
