Detailed explanation-1: -The gamete will contain some chromosomes from the mother and some from the father. The number of chromosomes in a gamete is reduced by half as it is formed.

Detailed explanation-2: -Haploid describes a cell that contains a single set of chromosomes. The term haploid can also refer to the number of chromosomes in egg or sperm cells, which are also called gametes. In humans, gametes are haploid cells that contain 23 chromosomes, each of which a one of a chromosome pair that exists in diplod cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -each gamete receives one member of each pair of homologous chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Gametes, or reproductive cells, are produced in a special kind of cell division called meiosis. During this process the normal number of the cell’s chromosomes is reduced by half. Each gamete ends up with a copy of one chromosome from each pair.
