The sex cells, or gametes, (egg and sperm) don't contain pairs of chromosomes. They each contain 23 singular chromosomes. When the egg and sperm combine, the resulting cell will have 23 pairs of chromosomes.

How many chromosmes are found in the human somatic cell?
There are 23 pairs of chromosomes in each human somatic cell. 22 pairs are exactly the same in both males and females. In males there are XY sex chromosomes and in females these are XX.
Having two chromosomes of each pair-normal body cells?
Normal body cells, also called diploid cells, contain 46 chromosomes. These are matched up in 23 pairs, one pair being the gender chromosomes.
The two copies of each chromosome in body cells are called?
Homologous pairs.
How many pairs of chromosomes do each human skin cell have?
Each human cell has 23 pairs of chromosomes or 46 chromosomes.
What is a good definition for diploid cells?
A cell with pairs of homologous chromosomes. (it has two copies of each chromosome)
Do somatic cells or gametes have no matched chromosome pairs present?
Gametes only have one of each chromosome, whereas somatic cells have a pair.
What is inside of a nucleus and contains information about the cell?
Our chromosomes are found in the nucleus of each of our body cells. We have 46 of them, matched up into 23 pairs.
What is a matched pairs design?
Matched Pairs involves participants being selected for one group only but part of each group are matched for some relevant factors eg) age, gender, height. Kiecolt Glaser did a matched pairs experiment in 1995.

How many genes can be found in each organism?
There are 23 chromosmes
How many chromosomes in each of the cells at the end of mitosis in human cells?
23 pairs
If a squirrel normally has 40 pairs of chromosomes in its cells after mitosis occurs how many pairs of chromosomes would be in each of the squirrels body cells?
40
What holds matched nucleotides together?
The hydrogen bonding across to the nitrogen's lone pairs in each match is strong enough in a correctly matched pair to hold the DNA molecules together.
Since muscles can only pull and not push each muscle is matched with another on the opposite side What are these pairs of muscles called?
they are called complimentary muscles
How many complete DNA molecules after three rounds of replication?
Each time a cell divides it's 23 PAIRS of chromosomes are divided and then 23 go to each of 2 new cells. Then each new cell with 23 chromosomes then replicates it's chromosomes so it has 23 PAIRs. Just look at a diagram of cell "mitosis". After the first mitosis: 46 pairs and 2 cells, Second round: 4 cells containing 92 PAIRS of DNA total. 3RD ROUND: Eights cells each containing 23 PAIRS of chromosomes: 8 x 23= 184 total chromosomes.
How many total pairs of chromosomes are in each of the daughter cells that divide under mitosis?
Human? 23 pairs as mitosis means ' to double.'
