    The answer is 12.

    The gametes are haploid which means they have n chromosomes unlike the body cells which have 2n chromosomes and are diploid. Thus, the body cells have twice more chromosomes than the gametes. So, if the gametes contain 6 chromosomes, the body cells will have twice more which is 12 chromosomes (6 * 2 = 12).
