80

Answer 2

Answer:

20

Explanation:

Gametes are an organism's reproductive cells. They are also referred to as sex cells. Female gametes are called as ova or egg cells, and male gametes are called as sperm. Gametes are haploid cells, and each cell carries only one copy of each chromosome. These reproductive cells are produced through a type of cell division called meiosis. The chromosomes in the gamete will be 20 as the gametes are haploid

So, the correct answer is '20'
