Answer:

14 chromosomes

Explanation:

In the gametes of an organism, there are always half of how many chromosomes there are in the somatic cells of the organism. For example, if there are 4 chromosomes in the somatic cells, that means that there are 2 chromosomes in the gametes.

Somatic cells are body cells. They include everything from skin cells to brain cells to stomach cells.

Gametes are reproductive cells. They're the sperm and egg cells.

So if the muscle cells have 28 chromosomes, that means all somatic (or body) cells of that organism have 28 chromosomes.

So the gametes would have half of that amount:

28/2 = 14

So the sperm cells of this organism would have 14 chromosomes.
