Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that gametes are reproductive cells (sperm and egg) that contain half the number of chromosomes found in somatic (body) cells.
Recognize that the total number of chromosomes in a cat's somatic cells is 38.
Since gametes contain half the number of chromosomes, divide the total number of chromosomes by 2 to find the number of chromosomes in a gamete.
Set up the equation: \( \frac{38}{2} \) to calculate the number of chromosomes in a cat's gamete.
Perform the division to determine the number of chromosomes in a cat's gamete.
