Answer:

19

Step-by-step explanation:

The process of meiosis can be described as a cell division process in which the number of chromosomes gets half in gametes. This is because the daughter cell will receive half the set of chromosome from one parent and the other half from the other parent.

If the diploid number of chromosomes is 38 in cats, then the gametes formed will have 38/2 number of gametes. Hence, the answer is 19.
