Best Answer

Humans contain 46 chromosomes which function in 23 pairs. You receive one set of 23 from your mother and the other set of 23 from your father. These chromosomes pair with one another and are labeled as pairs 1-23. The 23rd pair is the sex chromosomes which are labeled XX for females and XY for males.
