Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

Sex cells are different from body cells. Sex cells are made up of haploid number of cells. A haploid cell is half the original number of cell. When sex cell combines, they fuse and unite the half number of cells to form a single diploid which makes a complete body cell by a series of process.

All sex cells only contains half the number of cells in their parent.
