The right answer is 16 chromosomes.

Like all gametes, the egg is haploid, it contains half of the chromosomes of the future embryo (half of 32 is 16). Note that in the human species, this is not true haploidy because the egg has not completed its meiosis (it is blocked in metaphase II), so we speak rather of oocyte II, so it contains 2C DNA and N chromosomes with 2 chromatids.

<h3>What is se_xual selection?</h3>

The expression 'se_xual selection' makes reference to the type of evolutionary constraint on the individual's ability to mate.

Se_xual selection is fundamental to increase the genetic variation and thus enhance adaptive chances.

Se_xual selection can be considered a special type of natural selection that acts at an individual level.
