The gamete is supposed to join with another gamete, and combine their chromosomes into a single cell.

gamete
Gametes (sperm and eggs) contain only one sex chromosome.
They are cells that have half the chromosome number of the parent.
Gametes are haploid.EDIT:Meiosis produces four haploid cells after Telophase II and cytokinesis.But he/she is right. Gametes are haploid cells.
Female cells contain the sex chromosomes XX. A female gamete (ovum/egg) contains one X chromosome.
The diploid number of an organism is its full set of genetic information. A gamete only carries the haploid number because it only needs half the amount of information. This is because the gamete will join with a gamete from a different organism to produce a full set of genetic information, which is in the form of offspring. So the haploid number is always half of the diploid number. For your question, the chromosome number of each gamete will be its haploid number, 8.

There will be two copies of each chromosome in all somatic cells called homologous chromosome..In case of reproductive cells there will be only one set during gamete formation...
Since human body cells (like muscle cells) contain twice the amount of DNA present in human gamete cells, roughly 1.1 pg of DNA can be expected out of human gamete cells
