Answer:
40
Explanation:
It is due to the fact that meiocytes are diploid. The number of chromosomes is typical for any given species. In an asexually reproducing organism, the chromosome number will always be the same.
In sexually reproducing species, the chromosome number is typically diploid, i.e., 2n or a pair of each chromosome. Hence, twice the haploid or 1n number is found gametes. At the time of meiosis, the haploid number takes place.

Chromosomes in Meiocytes
Explanation:
- In an asexually reproducing organism, the chromosome number will always be the equivalent
- Sexually reproducing species, the chromosome number is commonly diploid, i.e. 2n or a couple of every chromosome. Consequently, double the haploid or 1n number is discovered gametes. At the hour of meiosis, the haploid number takes place
- Diploid means that the chromosomes in the cell are two by two ie two of each sort. A human diploid cell has 46 chromosomes in 23 pairs
