Final answer:

Meiosis halves the number of chromosomes in gametes compared to somatic cells.


Explanation:

The number of chromosomes in a gamete is half the number of chromosomes in a somatic cell due to the process of meiosis. In the case of a muscle cell with 32 chromosomes, a gamete from that same organism would have 16 chromosomes since gametes are haploid cells containing half the genetic material of somatic cells.
