Your chromosomes contain your genetic material.
46.The cells of the human body, for example in the liver, brain, and muscles, contain two sets of chromosomes, and are called diploid. There are 23 chromosomes in each set, and we inherit 23 from each parent.
Diploid is the term for cells that contain two chromosomes of each pair. Euploid is a term meaning normal body cells.
Genes
Sex cells (better known as gametes) being product of meiosis have single set (haploid number) of chromosomes whereas body cells have diploid number. Thus, 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes (XY), thus 46 chromosomes are present in our body cells. The gametes (sex cells) contain only 23 chromosomes in each.
9 chromosomes
Human cells contain forty-six chromosomes each. An exception to this is gametes (oocytes and sperm), which contain twenty-three chromosomes each.
No. These cells contain only half the number of chromosomes as the other cells of the body. Each egg and sperm cell contain only 23 chromosomes.

You get the other 23 from the opposite sex. The semen and the egg combines and gets 46 chromosomes. If each gamete contained 46 chromosomes, the zygote would contain 92 chromosomes.

They have 24 chromosomes in each body cells.
Yes, sperm and egg cells each only contain half a set of chromosomes, while all other cells contain a full set of chromosomes.
Human cells contain forty-six chromosomes each. An exception to this is gametes (oocytes and sperm), which contain twenty-three chromosomes each.
We have 46 chromosomes in our body. In each cell, there's 23 pairs of chromosomes.
