It will depend on the animal - the number of chromosomes varies from species to species.

Somatic cells are non-sex cells. This means that in sexually reproducing animals, somatic cells usually have 2 pairs of chromosomes (they are called diploid cells).

Human somatic cells have 46 (23 pairs of) chromosomes.

Cat somatic cells have 38 (19 pairs of) chromosomes.

Dogs have 78 (39 pairs of) chromosomes.

A pig has 38 chromosomes in each of its body cells how many chromosomes will be in each of the egg cells released by a female pig?

Sex cells are haploid cells, meaning that they have half the cells of body cells. If a pig has 38 chromosomes, then in its egg cells there will be 19 chromosomes. Also in a male pig there will be 19 in its sperm cells.

What chromosomes are found in body cells but not sex cells?

Sex cells (better known as gametes) being product of meiosis have single set (haploid number) of chromosomes whereas body cells have diploid number. Thus, 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes (XY), thus 46 chromosomes are present in our body cells. The gametes (sex cells) contain only 23 chromosomes in each.

How many chromosomes exist in your body?

A normal human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46. If you had an average of 40 trillion cells in your body that had 412 chromosomes you would have 4456 trillion chromosomes in your body. Note that some mature cells in your body do not have any chromosomes, some have 26 chromosomes and some cells have 99 chromosomes.
