A fruit fly has diploid cells with 8 chromosomes. How many chromosomes are in its haploid gametes?
There are 4 chromosomes in its haploid gametes.
Due to chromosome pairing, diploid cells always contain an even number of chromosomes (2n).
In haploid cells, the total number of chromosomes (n) is merely half.
You simply divide 8 by 2 to get 4.
That explains why there are four chromosomes.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
