Somatic mosquito cells have 6 chromosomes. Its gamete has 3 chromosomes.

Mosquitoes have 6 number of chromosome but when mosquitoes make sperm or egg cells, meiosis reduces the chromosome number to 3.

*the chromosome number in somatic body cells of a mosquito --- 6.
the haploid (n) number is 3.
the diploid (2n) number is 6.
