The term used to describe the number of chromosomes in a gamete would be haploid.
Gametes are usually formed by meiosis and meiosis is referred to as reductional division. When a normal diploid (2n) cell divides by meiosis, the daughter cells would have half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell. In other words, the daughter cells will have n number of chromosomes as opposed to 2n.
Cells with n chromosome numbers are generally referred to as haploid while those with normal 2n chromosome numbers are said to be diploid. Egg and sperm cells are haploid cells.
