How many chromosomes will an organism have in its body cells if the gametes contain 25 chromesones?

If the gametes contain 25 chromosomes, the organism will have 50 chromosomes in its body cells. This is because during fertilization, the gametes (sperm and egg) fuse to form a zygote, which will contain a total of 50 chromosomes, with 25 from each parent.
