Sex chromosomes determine an individual's biological sex. Typically, females have two X chromosomes (XX) and males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). A combination of XX would result in a female, while XY would result in a male.
Chromosomes can be seen in the metaphase stage of the cell cycle, when they align along the center of the cell prior to division.
In a human cell it would be 23 pairs.
If chromosomes are not properly aligned in the middle during cell division, it can lead to unequal distribution of genetic material between the daughter cells. This misalignment can result in aneuploidy, where one cell may receive too many or too few chromosomes, potentially causing developmental issues or diseases such as cancer. Additionally, improper segregation can trigger cell cycle checkpoints, leading to cell cycle arrest or apoptosis to prevent the propagation of errors.
It is not currently possible to remove chromosomes from cells. Chromosomes contain vital genetic information that is necessary for cell function and survival. Any attempts to remove chromosomes would likely result in cell death or dysfunction.

Meiosis is usually reserved for cells used in sexual reproduction. They have half the number of chromosomes found in the organism's somatic cells. A mosquito has six chromosomes in its somatic cells, and therefore would have three in each gamete formed by meiosis.
In a human cell it would be 23 pairs.
a nuclear explosion would take place and everything in the area would be destroyed
A human male normally has 46 chromosomes. Some configurations of 48 chromosomes would result in a viable male offspring. This individual would have a trisomy of the sex chromosomes such as XYY and also a trisomy of chromosome 21 and have Down Syndrome.
It depends. If the chromosomes were suddenly taken out during the cell's cycle, it cannot reproduce. However, if you're talking about the development of a cell without chromosomes then the cell would simply not exist.
This would be a zygote

sex cells need to go through meiosis because the daughter cells will get half the chromosomes. if they when through mitosis they would get all the necessary chromosomes and when an egg is fertilized and creates a child it will have double the number of chromosomes that it needs. it could cause mutations.

Synthesis occurs during Interphase. During Interphase, the genetic material is present as chromatin, a loosely bundled coil in the nucleus. The chromatin does not condense into chromosomes until Prophase. Thus, you would not see chromosomes during synthesis.
