Chimpanzees have 24 chromosomes in one set. That is to say that the haploid number in chimpanzees is 24.

So a chimpanzee sperm or ovum (unfertilized egg) contains 24 chromosomes; the zygote and the cells of the body that develop from it contain 48.

The chimpanzee's haploid number is one more than the human number. By comparing chromosomes in detail, scientists believe the human chromosome number 2 (the second longest we have) evolved from an end-to-end fusion of two shorter chromosomes in an ancestor.
