Answer:

12!

Step-by-step explanation:

Sex cells only carry half of what makes up the organism's DNA. This is so that when they find a mate, in this case- another tomato, their sex cells and their partner's sex cells will add up to the appropriate amount of chromosomes in the organism's DNA. In this case, 24.
