Yes. You have 23 pairs of chromosomes in all the body cells except the red blood cells. Red blood cells do not have nucleus in them.
egg cells and sperm cells
46 in humans
They are sex cells - the largest cells in the human body. They each contain 23 chromosomes, and when combined in fertilization they for 23 pairs of chromosomes, which grow to form a baby.
Yes, it is. The somatic (body) cells of multi celled organisms that reproduce sexually contain pairs of chromosomes.
A cell that contains both copies of each chromosome is called a Diploid cell.
In human, somatic cells are the cells that make up the body parts of an individual, other than the germ cells. They contain 46 chromosomes organized into 23 pairs.
They are sex cells - the largest cells in the human body. They each contain 23 chromosomes, and when combined in fertilization they for 23 pairs of chromosomes, which grow to form a baby.
Human body cells that contain 23 pairs of chromosomes are diploid, meaning they have their full compliment (2 copies) of DNA. Haploid cells are the gametes (sperm and egg) that recombine to form a new diploid organism upon fertilization.
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

Each organism has a distinct number of chromosomes, in humans, every cell contains 46 chromosomes. Other organisms have different numbers, for instance, a dog has 78 chromosomes per cell. Somatic Cells - body cells, such as muscle, skin, blood ...etc. These cells contain a complete set of chromosomes (46 in humans) and are called DIPLOID. Sex Cells - also known as gametes. These cells contain half the number of chromosomes as body cells and are called HAPLOID Chromosomes come in pairs, called Homologous Pairs (or homologs). Imagine homologs as a matching set, but they are not exacly alike, like a pair of shoes. Diploid cells have 23 homologous pairs = total of 46 Haploid cells have 23 chromosomes (that are not paired) = total of 23
Normal body cells, also called diploid cells, contain 46 chromosomes. These are matched up in 23 pairs, one pair being the gender chromosomes.
