    In every gamete, this combination is haploid.

    Explanation:

    When we talk about gametes, we refer to specialized haploid cells for reproduction. It is these cells that unite in fertilization and originate a new being and they are, therefore, that carry the characteristics that must be passed on to a new generation. A haploid cell has only one set of chromosomes (n), while diploid cells have two sets of chromosomes (2n).

    Human gametes are sperm and eggs. Sperm are male reproductive cells and are formed in seminiferous tubules, a region of the testicles. Men, after puberty, produce sperm continuously until the end of life. The sperm formation process is called spermatogenesis.

    Female gametes, in turn, are eggs, more correctly called oocytes or secondary oocytes. These cells are produced in the female ovary, inside the ovarian follicles. Unlike men, female gametes are still produced in embryonic development and, subsequently, undergo a maturation phase. The woman normally releases eggs at puberty until menopause. The process of forming the female gamete is called ovogenesis or ovulogenesis.
