That's the number of complete sets of chromosomes the gamete contains. Typical human cells are diploid, meaning 2n, meaning they have one complete set from their mother and one complete set from their father. An ovum is haploid, meaning just n.

How does a human reproduce?

Every 28 or so days a female matures and releases an egg cell. The male can produce sperm cells. During human intercourse (coitus or mating) the sperm cells will reach the egg and only one sperm cell will fuse and enter into the egg for fertilization. The DNA of egg and sperm cells (n+n) unite together to form a zygote (2n) which will be then implanted in the lining of the uterus for embryogenesis (formation of a fetus or baby from single fused cell).
