Answer:

Gametes are reproductive cells, such as sperm and egg. As gametes are produced, the number of chromosomes must be reduced by half.

Explanation:

Gametes are produced as a result of meiosis during which the chromosome number is reduced to half and each daughter cell receives half the set of chromosomes. Therefore, gametes have a haploid number of chromosomes
