Somatic cells (of the body) are diploid (having 46 chromosomes). Only gametes (eggs and sperm) are haploid (having 23 chromosomes). So that during fertilization the egg and sperm combine their chromosomes resulting in a new life with 46 unique chromosomes (in humans, of course. Others species has differing numbers of chromosomes). The haploid combination ensures genetic diversity.
If a somatic cell has 30 chromosomes, then the gametes produced by that cell would contain 15 chromosomes. Gametes, like sperm and egg cells, are haploid cells containing half the number of chromosomes as somatic cells, which are diploid.
Non-somatic cells, such as germ cells (sperm and egg cells), have half the number of chromosomes compared to somatic cells. In humans, somatic cells have 46 chromosomes, while germ cells have 23 chromosomes.

A human somatic cell typically contains 46 chromosomes.
A somatic cell that does not contain a multiple of 23 chromosomes is typically referred to as aneuploid. This means it has an abnormal number of chromosomes, which can lead to genetic disorders or abnormalities in development.
The number of chromosomes in a mature somatic cell depends on the species, but it is the diploid number (2X). In a human somatic cell, that number is 46.
A frog somatic cell typically has a diploid number of chromosomes, which is twice the haploid number. This means it has two sets of chromosomes. On the other hand, a frog egg cell is haploid, meaning it only has one set of chromosomes. In frogs, both the somatic cell (2n) and the egg cell (n) have 26 chromosomes.
The number of chromosomes in a somatic cell.
Short Answer is: twice the number of Chromosomes as found in the gametic [Haploid] Cells.
If a somatic cell has 30 chromosomes, then the gametes produced by that cell would contain 15 chromosomes. Gametes, like sperm and egg cells, are haploid cells containing half the number of chromosomes as somatic cells, which are diploid.
A somatic cell is a cell that reproduces by mitosis. Therefore, a somatic cell transfers its information (in the chromosomes) by producing two daughter cells.
Non-somatic cells, such as germ cells (sperm and egg cells), have half the number of chromosomes compared to somatic cells. In humans, somatic cells have 46 chromosomes, while germ cells have 23 chromosomes.

The diploid number of chromosomes in a horse's cell is 64, therefore they have 32 pairs of chromosomes in their somatic cells.
