If a muscle cell of a typical organism has 32 chromosomes, how many chromosomes will be in a gamete of that same organism?
8
16
32
64

16

Explanation:

Gametes are universally haploid (n) and are produce as a result of meiosis in the diploid (2n) reproductive cells. Organs (testes and ovary) produce gametes. Meiosis is a type of cell division by which chromosome number is reduced to half. In the given question, a muscle cell of a typical organism has 32 chromosomes. This means the reproductive cells of the said organisms also have 32 chromosomes. Meiosis in the reductive will form gametes with 16 chromosomes. Meiosis reduces the chromosomes to half.
