Suppose that for an organism, 2n=8. How many chromosomes do the organism's gametes contain?

If 2n stands for the diploid number (the number of chromosomes in all the body cells), then the gametes will contain a haploid number (half of the diploid number).
This is so, when sperm and egg (gametes) unite, the haploid number will be restored.
I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
