Concept:Gametes are haploid cells, so they contain exactly half the number of chromosomes found in somatic cells.
Explanation:A normal somatic cell is diploid, represented as
2n.
Here, the somatic cell has
2n=8 chromosomes.
Gametes are haploid, represented as
n, meaning they have only one set of chromosomes.
To find the gamete chromosome number, divide the somatic number by
2:
n=28=4.
Thus, each gamete will carry
4 chromosomes.
Answer:C.
