Humans have 22 pairs of homologous non-sex chromosomes (called autosomes), and one pair of sex chromosomes, making a total of 46 chromosomes in a genetically normal human.
Each member of a pair is inherited from one of the two parents. In addition to the 22 pairs of homologous autosomes, female humans have a homologous pair of sex chromosomes (two Xs),
while males have an X and a Y chromosome.

Do human cells have 46 genes?
No. The human cell has 23 chromosome pairs (total 46 chromosomes). Each chromosome has many genes.
How many genes do cells obtain?
The number of genes varies from chromosome to chromosome and the number of chromosomes varies from species to species (from as few as 1 single chromosome per cell to as many 30,000 chromosome pairs per cell). Human cells have 23 chromosome pairs per cell.
How many chromosome's are in one ovum?
It has 23 chromosomes. The fertilizing sperm has 23 as well so that together the resultant human has the normal 46 chromosome number.
How many chromosomes are in a sperm Cell?
32
How many genes does the chromosome carry?
The number of genes varies. Most of any chromosome consists of non-coding DNA, which does not contain any genes. Each chromosome has many chromatins. One gene consists of many chromatins. Therefore, one chromosome could have many genes.
How many chromosome's do human body cells contain?
21
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 many chromosome will there in the sex cells of an organism if each somatic cell contain 20 chromosomes?

How many cells does the human body contain approximate?
The human body has an approximate number of ten trillion cells.
If 2.2 picograms of DNA could be extracted from a certain number of human muscle cells about how many picograms of DNA could be extracted from the same number of human gamete cells?
Since human body cells (like muscle cells) contain twice the amount of DNA present in human gamete cells, roughly 1.1 pg of DNA can be expected out of human gamete cells

How many cells does the human body contain?
The human body is composed of billions of cells. Each organ in the body is comprised of thousands of tissues, each of which are formed by thousands of cells.
