Answer:

88

Step-by-step explanation:

Sex cells are usually haploid for chromosome number/ genetic material. Sex cells carry one of the set of alleles of a gene. This means a sex cell has half the number of chromosomes of the autosomal cell. Therefore, in this case, the autosomal cell will have 44 * 2 (=88) number of chromosomes.
