46 total in somatic cells.
23 homologous pairs (chromosomes that carry the same genes). This pairing is why Mendelian inheritance works as it does.
Not all human cells have nuclei/genetic material. Red blood cells for example. And gametes (sex cells) only have 23 total, no homologous pairs.
Hope that helps!

∙ 14y agoHumans have 23 pair of chromosomes i.e, total 46 chromosomes in which two are sex chromosomes knwon as heterosomal related with sex of an individual and rest are 44 are knwon as autosomal chromosomes

∙ 13y agoThat depends on what organism the cell belongs to.
A nucleus of a normal human cell contains 46 chromosomes, whereas this is a double chromosome set, i.e. we have 23 pairs of chromosomes that are used for the same functions. Two chromosomes that fulfill the same functions are called homologous.
In human germ cells (sperm and egg cells), the set is halved so that only one chromosome for every function remains. This leaves them with 23 chromosomes.
Other organisms have different numbers of chromosomes. For example, elephants have 56 chromosomes in normal cells, guinea pigs even have 64. Maize cells contain only 20.
