Answer:
Reason:
Meiosis contains two rounds of cell division without DNA replication in between. This process reduces the number of chromosomes by half. Human cells have 23 pairs of chromosomes, and each chromosome within a pair is called a homologous chromosome. ... Therefore, gametes have only 23 chromosomes, not 23 pairs.

Answer:
A gamete is formed by meiosis in the germinal cells.
Meiosis is also known as reductional division because after meiosis 4 daughter cells are produced with half of the total no. of chromosomes present in each.
Therefore a gamete formed through this process has only 23 chromosomes and not 46.
