Chromosomes aren't cells at all. Chromosomes are found within a cell's nucleus and are tightly packaged pieces of DNA. There are 23 pairs of chromosomes within each cell of the human body.
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.
Sex cells (better known as gametes) being product of meiosis have single set (haploid number) of chromosomes whereas body cells have diploid number. Thus, 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes (XY), thus 46 chromosomes are present in our body cells. The gametes (sex cells) contain only 23 chromosomes in each.
There are 46 chromosomes in a skin cell, as there are in all body cells. Sex cells have 23 chromosomes.
Each human cell has 23 pairs of chromosomes or 46 chromosomes.

Chromosomes are found in all cells. They are found inside the nucleus of the cell.
No. The sex cells have only one set of 23 chromosomes.

All body cells contain a total number of 46 chromosomes except sex cells (the egg and the sperm) which have half the number of chromosomes (23) no.... body cells or somatic cells have 46 chromosomes which is the diploid chromosome number of homo sapiens... gametes or sex cells have 23 chromosomes which is the haploid chromosome number...
Reproductive cells or sex cells of an organism contain haploid number of chromosomes. All other body cells (or somatic cells) contain diploid number of chromosomes

23.Body cells have 23 PAIRS of chromosomes, while all reproductive cells have 23 CHRMOSOMES.
Each human cell has 23 pairs of chromosomes or 46 chromosomes.
In a human being, there would be 23 pairs of chromosomes, adding up to 46 chromosomes. In fact, all the body cells have this many chromosomes normally.
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)
