4 as a house fly has 8 chromosomes therefore the sperm would have 4 as they are haploid and do not contain pairs. Gametes (sex cells) always are haploid, so therefore the sperm cell or the egg cell contains half the number of the chromosomes in the rest of the cells.

What did Sutton observe about the relative numbers of chromosomes in the body cells and sex cells of grasshoppers?

Sutton observed that while body cells in grasshoppers had a diploid number of chromosomes, sex cells (sperm and eggs) had a haploid number of chromosomes. This observation led to the hypothesis that chromosomes are responsible for passing on hereditary information from one generation to the next.
