Humans have 23 pairs of x and y chromosomes, for a total of 46.
46A human being normally has 46 chromosomes (23 pairs) in all but the sex cells. Half of each chromosomal pair is inherited from the mother's egg; the other half, from the father's sperm. When the sperm and egg unite in fertilization, they create a single cell, or zygote, with 46 chromosomes.

There are 46 chromosomes. During reproduction, each parent randomly gives the offspring 36 chromosomes each. This gives the offspring its own unique look.

There are 46 chromosomes in each human body. You get half of your chromosomes (23) from each parent. When you combine 23 and 23 , you get 46.
