It depends on what animal you are talking about. Humans have 46 chromasomes each and supply 23 from each parent to produce a child. Goldfish have 96 chromasomes, and other animals can have fewer or more chromasomes than that.

There are many different ideas on how many chromosomes one parent give. However, normally each parent gives a child 23 chromosomes, one copy of each chromosomes type 1-22 plus one sex chromosomes. Contributions from both parents give the child 23 pairs of chromosomes.

You have 23 sets of chromosomes for a total of 46. Half from each parent, I suppose. Your 23rd chromosome pair determines your gender (but I'm not explaining all that!).
