Answer:

32

Explanation:

Gametes are formed when the gamete mother cells enter meiosis. During anaphase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes separate from each other and move towards the opposite poles of the cell. This event reduces the chromosome number to half in the daughter cells. Therefore, if a gamete mother cell with 64 chromosomes enters the process of meiosis, four gametes each other 64/2= 32 chromosomes will be formed. If the gamete mother cell is diploid, the gametes are said to be haploid.
