Answer:

a. They would have half chromosomes as much as the plants body cells.

b. Meiosis

Explanation:

Gametes are sex cells produced only in sexually reproducing organisms. In plants as stated in this question, male gametes are contained in pollens while female gametes are contained in ovules. The process by which these gametes are made is called MEIOSIS.

Meiosis is a cell division that reduces the chromosomal number of the parent cell by half. This means that each GAMETE will contain half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Fir example, if the body cell of a plant contains 30 chromosomes, each gamete formed via Meiosis in that plant will have 15 chromosomes.

In a nutshell, pollen and ovules, which are gametes of plants formed by MEIOSIS would have half chromosomes as much as the plants body cells.
