Its haploid number, which will be half the number of chromosomes found in somatic (non-sex) cells - the diploid number.
Yes, all cells within an organism (excluding gametes) typically have the same number of chromosomes, known as the diploid number. This number is characteristic of the species and remains constant throughout most of the organism's cells. Gametes, such as sperm and eggs, have half the number of chromosomes (haploid) to ensure the correct chromosome count is restored upon fertilization.
D. Be produced by meiosis
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.
A gamete has half the number of chromosomes of the somatic (diploid) cell. Therefore a zebra gamete would have 25 chromosomes if 50 is the diploid number.
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.
It varies from organism to organism. Humans have 23 chromosomes in a haploid (gamate) cell.

Be produced by meosis.
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.
They have half the number of the somatic (parent) cell. So if a parent cell had 46 chromosomes in its nucleus, then its gamete would have 23(one chromosome from each pair).
A gamete has half the number of chromosomes of the somatic (diploid) cell. Therefore a zebra gamete would have 25 chromosomes if 50 is the diploid number.
A gamete of Drosophila has 2n chromosomes, which is the haploid number. Drosophila, like most organisms, has a diploid number of chromosomes in its somatic cells. During meiosis, gametes are produced with half the number of chromosomes to maintain the chromosome number in the species.

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.
Fertilization restores the diploid number by combining one haploid gamete from the mother with one haploid gamete from the father to form a zygote with the full diploid set of chromosomes. In an organism with a haploid chromosome number of 8, each spermatogonium would have 16 chromosomes because they are diploid cells that undergo mitosis to produce sperm cells with the haploid 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.
