Well, a cell can not be termed a gamete or reproductive cell BEFORe meiosis, this term is only applicable after meiosis, when it is now a haploid cell or 23 chromosomes in humans. So before meiosis it is a diploid cell (2n) or 46 chromosomes.

Each gamete has 23. They combine to make a total of 46.
Unless there's some type of genetic anomally.
And yes, this is the human gamete. Other animals have different numbers of chromosomes.

Before meiosis in a gamete there are 2n chromosomes i.e. diploid no. of chromosomes

Depends on what species you're asking about. (Assuming you're refering to a "normal" individual of that species)
