In terms of chromosomal number, there are two types of cells in the human body.
Autosomes, or body cells, have 46 chromosomes (the diploid number)
Allosomes, or sex chromosomes, have 23 chromosomes (the haploid number)

∙ 14y agoIn humans, body cells (or somatic cells) contain 46 chromosomes in total: 22 pairs of autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes

How many chromosomes in normal human eggs and sperm is the same as in the body cells?
There are 23 chromosomes in human egg/sperm. In other human body cells there are 46 chromosomes.

How many chromosomes are in a human cell?
Body cells have "pairs" of chromosomes while sex cells have only single sets of chromosomes. The human body cells have 22 pairs of autosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosomes for a total of 23 pairs or 46 chromosomes.But sex cells (sperm or ovum, known as gametes or diploid cells) contain only 23 chromosomes (unpaired), when they meet (forming a Zygote), the 23 from each male and female gamete form a cell containing 46 chromosomes to make a Haploid cell.Normal body cells (known as a haploid cells) contain 46 chromosomes (or 23 pairs of chromosomes).There are genetic diseases/disorders such as Down's syndrome that occasionally have one more.Normally, 46. Unless aneuploidy occurs.46 Chromosomes in human body
How many chromosomes in normal human eggs and sperm is the same as in the body cells?
There are 23 chromosomes in human egg/sperm. In other human body cells there are 46 chromosomes.
How many chromosomes are in human kidney cells?
Human kidney cells are body cells, so they would have 46 chromosomes.
How many chromosomes does a body cell have?
Human body cells have 46 chromosomes.
How are chromosomes and genes are related?
they have cells and the cells can be in a animal body or it can be in a human body.
How many pairs of chromosomes do each human skin cell have?

What is the number of chromosomes found in cells?
There are 46 chromosomes in a human body cell.
Number of chromosomes in human body cells?
46 chromosomes 23 pairs
Why is it important to have half as many chromosomes as normal body cells?
The gametes must have half as many chromosomes as normal body cells because they unite to form a zygote, which is the first body cell of the new organism. For example, human body cells have 46 chromosomes and human gametes (sperm and egg cells) have 23 chromosomes. When the sperm fertilizes the egg, the zygote will have 46 chromosomes, and is the first body cell of the new human.
How many chromosomes are usually found in human cells?
A single human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes (22 autosomes and a pair of sex chromosomes ). These are found in all human cells (RBC's and platelets being exception ). So with human body made up of unbountable number of cells, the actual number of chromosomes in the human body is unbountable times 46= unbountable.

A human lung cell has 46 chromosomes, as do all human body cells.
