The 'body' cells have 42 chromosomes. The sex cells would have 21 chromosomes. 3 X 7

A turkey has 80 chromosomes, so its sex cells will have 40 chromosomes.
Body cells, like liver cells, are diploid. This means they have pairs of chromosomes. In this example the diploid number of chromosomes is 24. In sperm cells (or egg cells) the number of chromosomes is halved. This is described as the haploidnumber. In this example the haploid number would be 24/2 = 12. So the number of chromosomes in the sperm cells would be 12.

Human kidney cells are body cells, so they would have 46 chromosomes.

In a human being, there would be 23 pairs of chromosomes, adding up to 46 chromosomes. In fact, all the body cells have this many chromosomes normally.

it is always half so 5 chromosomes. -By SciienceFreak
Twice the number in the cell. So if the cell normally has 46 chromosomes, such as in somatic human cells, the dividing cell would have 92 chromosomes just before division. With germ cells such as sperm and egg this would be half that. Sperm and egg cells in humans would contain 23 chromosomes and 46 just before division.With N representing the number of chromosomes in an organism:Mitosis (somatic cells) 2N -> 4N division -> 2N
The only place you would be able to find a cell with 23 chromosomes would be in the sex cells (sperm cells of egg cells). There are 46 chromosomes in the human body. This is because when a sperm cell fertilises the egg cell, both with 23 single chromosomes, they join to make 46.
