Final answer:

The gamete of a typical organism with 32 chromosomes will contain 16 chromosomes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is B) 16.


A muscle cell of a typical organism contains 32gamete chromosomes, which is referred to as the diploid number. However, a gamete, which is a reproductive cell, will contain half the number of chromosomes of a normal cell. This is known as the haploid number. Therefore, a gamete of the same organism will contain 16 chromosomes.
