How many chromosomes are in a male cell?

Answer 1

It depends which male cells you mean. If you mean normal body cells, both males and females have 46 chromosomes in all ordinary cells. If you mean gamete cells, then there are only 23 chromosomes. Each parent contributes 23 chromosomes to give the normal 46.

Answer 2

A male cell typically contains 46 chromosomes, which are arranged in 23 pairs. Of these pairs, one determines sex, with males having one X and one Y chromosome (XY).
