Answer:

The question is incomplete, the complete question with options is:

Gametes have:

1. Homologous chromosomes

2. Twice the number of chromosomes found in body cells

3. Two sets of chromosomes

4. One allele for each gamete

The answer is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Gamete formation is peculiar to sexually-reproducing organisms and they do so via the process of meiosis, which reduces the chromosomal number of gametes/resulting daughter cells by half. A diploid (2n) organism undergoes meiotic division to produce haploid (n) gametes.

Mendel discovered that a diploid organism receives two forms of a gene called ALLELE from each parent. These alleles segregate into gametes in such a way that each gamete contains only one allele of a pair (according to Mendel's law of segregation). For example, a diploid organism with genotype Tt will undergo meiosis to produce gametes with T and t allele respectively.
