Your question is not proper.
Still I will do my best to answer it.

1) Meiosis can occur only in DIPLOID cells ( I hope you know the meaning).

2) It is mathematically denoted as 2n. Where n is the basic HAPLOID number of chromosomes.

3) After meiosis ( The Reduction Division ) the 2n number is reduced to half i.e. n or haploid number.

4) This is the number of chromosomes present in each one of the 4 gametes .

For example a) In onion the 2n or diploid number of chromosomes is 16. So the gametes have only 8 chromosomes each.
b) In man the diploid , 2n number is 46 so the gametes have only 23 chromosomes each.

Thus the number is a variable and unless one specifies the diploid number , haploid number can not be deduced.

Thanks.

The human body cell has 46 chromosomes. Therefore, gametes each have 23 chromosomes.
