The question is somewhat ambiguous as there are literally millions of different species, each with its own cellular chromosome count.

In addition, normal Somatic Cells have exactly twice the number of chromosomes that normal Haploid cells have.

Below is a list of different species and their corresponding Somatic cell chromosome count.

For the Haploid cell chromosome count simply divide the listed Somatic cell number by 2:


Somatic Cells - Chromosome Count

Human - 46
Common fruit fly - 8
Guinea Pig - 64
Dove - 78
Garden Snail - 54
Earthworm - 36
Tibetan Fox - 36
Domestic Cat - 38
Domestic Pig - 38
Laboratory Mouse - 40
Laboratory Rat - 42
Rabbit - 44
Syrian Hamster - 44
Hare - 48
Gorillas / Chimpanzee - 48
Domestic sheep - 54
Elephants - 56
Cow - 60
Donkey - 62
Horse - 64
Dog - 78
Kingfisher - 132
Goldfish - 100-104
Silkworm - 56

In a cell of what? The answer will vary widely depending on what plant, animal, etc. cell you are talking about...

A normal Human cell has 46 chromosomes. Whereas a male 'Jack jumper ant' has 1 chromosome, and an 'Adders-tongue' fern has 1200 chromosomes.

How many chromosomes are present in human sex cells?

The human sex cell or human gamete has half the number of cells that any other normal human cell would have. A normal human cell (the one from your skin, mouth, lung, liver, sex organs, etc.) has 23 pairs of chromosomes and as such are called diploid cells. The sex cells are haploid having only 23 number of chromosomes as they unite with another haploid cell to create a normal cell with complete set of 23 pairs of chromosomes. The 23rd chromosome on a male human gamete is either the X or the Y chromosome while on the female gamete it is always the X chromosome.


How many pair of chromosomes do normal human cells contain?

Gametic [haploid] Cells are chromosome number n - which involves 23 individual chromosomes. Somatic [or diploid] Cells are chromosome number 2n - which involves 23 pairs of chromosomes. Mitotic Cells are 4n.


How are sex cells different from others human cells?

Sex cells, called gametes, are different to other cells in that they contain half the number of chromosomes. So in a human sex cell, there are 23 chromosomes, whereas a normal human cell has 46 chromosomes.

How many chromosomes are present in each cell in this human?

There are 46 chromosomes in a normal human cell and 23 in the sex cells. People with down syndrome has 47 chromosomes.


Why is it important to have half as many chromosomes as normal body cells?

The gametes must have half as many chromosomes as normal body cells because they unite to form a zygote, which is the first body cell of the new organism. For example, human body cells have 46 chromosomes and human gametes (sperm and egg cells) have 23 chromosomes. When the sperm fertilizes the egg, the zygote will have 46 chromosomes, and is the first body cell of the new human.


How many chromosomes do human egg cells and sperm cells have?

There are 23 chromosomes in a human sperm or egg (ovum).Of these, 22 are autosomes, and there is one sex chromosome: either an X or a Y. So 23 is the human haploid number.


How many Pairs of chromosomes are located in the cell nucleus?

In a "normal" human autosome (normal cell, not a sex cell), there is 23 pairs of chromosomes.
