All cells except gametes have a nucleus that contains 46 chromosomes arranged into pairs.

Half of the amount of chromosomes as the cells in the body that are not gametes (called somatic cells) so 23 chromosomes (instead of 23 PAIRS of chromosomes).
For a species with three pair of chromosomes how many gametic combinations are possible?
A somatic or non-sex cell has 23 pairs or 46 total chromosomes. Sex cells or gametes have a total of 23 chromosomes.
46 (23 pairs)

In human gametes, chromosomes are not paired. Instead, each gamete has one set of 23 chromosomes, and is said to be haploid.
the random distribution of the pairs of genes on different chromosomes to the gametes

I will assume that you mean human cells. Somatic cells are diploid (2n), containing two sets of chromosomes, one of paternal, one of maternal origin. Gametes, on the other hand, are haploid (n), with a single set of chromosomes, ie. half as many as the somatic cell. Now, the haploid chromosome number (n) is characteristic of the species, and in humans this number happens to be 23. Therefore a human gamete has 23 chromosomes, and a human somatic cell 23 pairs, or 46 chromosomes.

There are 23 pairs of chromosomes in all about 100 trillion body cells minus 25 trillion red blood cells and gametes. Red blood cells have no nucleus and so no chromosomes and gametes have half of them.
All cells except gametes have a nucleus that contains 46 chromosomes arranged into pairs.
