In human gametes, chromosomes are not paired. Instead, each gamete has one set of 23 chromosomes, and is said to be haploid.

The llama has 74 chromosomes.
Half the number the monkey hasThe number of chromosomes depends on the species of monkey. So for which ever monkey you are talking about, the gametes that came together to form it each had half the total number the monkey has.
There are 23 pairs or 46 individual chromosomes in a humans cells. 22 pairs of autosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosomes in normal humans. (There are disorders such as Turners syndrome and Klinefelter syndrome that result in different numbers of chromosomes.)
There's no good reason for it; the number of chromosomes an animal has doesn't really have much to do with anything.
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.

For a species with three pair of chromosomes how many gametic combinations are possible?
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.
Humans have 23 chromosomes in their gametes, which are sperm and egg cells. This is half the number of chromosomes found in a somatic cell, which has 46 chromosomes.
20 chromosomes
There are 23 pairs of chromosomes in adult humans.

An organism with six pairs of chromosomes has a total of 12 chromosomes. The number of different gametes that can be produced through independent assortment is calculated using the formula (2^n), where (n) is the number of chromosome pairs. In this case, (2^6 = 64). Therefore, the organism can produce 64 different gametes.
Gametes carry half the number of normal chromosomes as a body cell. Since there are normally 46, this means there are 23 chromosomes in a human gamete.
