Typically, 22 pairs or 44 chromosomes in humans.
The number doesn't change between males and females whose only difference are the other 2 of the 46 total chromosomes, the aptly named sex chromosomes.
So really the factor that decides how many autosomal chromosomes the organism has is what kind of organism it is (human? dog? cat? orangutan? moon jellyfish??)

What is the 23rd pair of chromosomes that differ in males and females called?
The 22 pairs of chromosomes in human somatic cells that are same in males and females are called autosomes.
What is the term for chromosomes that do not determine sex?
Chromosomes that aren't sex chromosomes are called autosomes. There are 44 autosomes in a normal human somatic cell and 22 in normal human gametes. The only chromosomes that affect the sex of an organism is the X and/or Y chromosome. XX = Female and XY = Male.
How many chromosomes are found in a diploid human cell?
There are 22 pairs of autosomes in a human somatic cell.
How many different chromosomes do humans have think about the twenty two pairs of autosomes and the pair of sex chromosomes?
In a normal diploid cell, there are 24 *different* chromosomes out the total of 46: there are 22 pairs of identical autosomes and 2 non-identical sex chromosomes.
Why are sometimes X's used to represent chromosomes?
In humans, most (the 22 pairs of autosomes) are shaped like an X, but there is also one pair of sex chromosomes, named X and Y. XX is female, and XY male.
First 22 pairs of chromosomes in karyotype?
There are 23 pairs of chromosomes in a normal human karyotype.
How many autosomes are in a male liver cell?
44
Human body cells have 23 pairs of?
Chromosomes (autosomes), not including the sex chromosomes (XY - male, or XX - female).

What combination of chromosomes is a female an a male?
Normal females have XX chromosomes and normal males have XY chromosomes. I believe there are two of each in a human body and the rest are autosomes.
How the sex of a person determined?
Human cells contain 23 pairs of chromosomes for a total of 46. There are 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes. The sex chromosomes are the X chromosome and the Y chromosome. If you are male you have the XY chromosome.. making you a male. If you are female you have the XX chromosome.. making you a female. It all depends on the father, if the father gives an X chromosome... you have a girl. Because it combines with the mother's X chromosome.. creating XX(a female) If the father give a Y chromosome.. you a have a boy. It combines with the mothers X chromosomes.. creating XY(a male)
