It varies from organism to organism. Humans have 23 chromosomes in a haploid (gamate) cell.
4. Two gametes get together to make something new. Just double up!
Human gametes have 23 chromosomes. (In cases of abnormality there may be a different number of chromosomes in a gamete).
A gamete has half the diploid number of chromosomes, so in this case, the gamete would have 15 chromosomes.
Organism gametes typically contain half the number of chromosomes found in somatic cells, forming a haploid set of chromosomes. In humans, this means gametes have 23 chromosomes each, while somatic cells have 46 chromosomes in total.
A Drosophila gamete has 4 chromosomes. Drosophila, also known as fruit flies, have a diploid number of 8 chromosomes in their somatic cells, which means each gamete will have half of that number.

A gamete would be haploid, containing half the number of chromosomes compared to a diploid cell. Therefore, a gamete of this organism would be expected to contain 29 chromosomes.

Yes, that is correct. If an organism has 16 chromosomes in its egg cells, its diploid number would be 32. This means that in its somatic cells, which are diploid, it would have 32 chromosomes, with each chromosome having a pair.

Human gametes have 23 chromosomes. (In cases of abnormality there may be a different number of chromosomes in a gamete).

In a gamete (sex) cell, there are 23 chromosomes. A gamete is a haploid, or n, whereas a somatic (normal) cell is a diploid, or 2n, and has 46 chromosomes.
