Healthy Somatic (body) cells are diploid (have two of each chromasome one from each parent) and so have 46 chromasomes, 23 pairs. The gametes are haploid and so have only one from each pair (these are the parents sex cell which join to make diploid) and so have only 23 chromasomes.

46 chromosones are in body cells, that makes up 23 pairs of chromosones.

there are 23 in the gammets, or sex cells such a semen and eggs, there is only one chromosone from each pair.
