46 chromosomes. The only cells in the human body that do not contain 46 chromosomes are specialist cells which have no cell nucleus (eg a human red blood cell) and reproductive cells, which only contain 23 chromosomes.

Thus the cheek cell of the animal would be no different from any other cell in its number of chromosomes and would contain the full number of chromosomes for that animal.

There are 46, as in any diploid cell. Only haploid (sex) cells have 23 chromosomes.

They are the same as all human cells. Which means there are 46 chromosomes in total, 2 copies of each chromosome (23 types of chromosomes).

it is the same size as any other cell in your body

A Human cheek cell is smaller than a human egg but larger than most human cells (like skin cells).

Does a cheek cell contain the same chromosomes as a liver cell?

Yes. In an individual, almost all cells contain DNA (Red Blood Cells do not). That DNA is tightly wound like you would twist a drawstring, and kept tightly coiled as chromosomes. Since chromosomes can be found in a cheek cell, a liver cell (hepatocyte), and almost all other cells, they all contain the same chromosomes, which inevitably have the same genes. What makes cheek cells different from liver cells is which genes are turned on and off. Cheek cells have different genes turned on compared to liver cells.
