Answer: 23

Step-by-step explanation:

After the completion of meiosis in humans, a diploid germ cell has produced cells with half the original chromosome number, generating 23 haploid nuclei.

Meiosis is cell division that reduces chromosome number by half. Hence, a diploid germ cell with 46 chromosomes (23 pairs) is halved to 23 nuclei at the end of meiosis, the 23 nuclei will be carried by the sex gamete
