The diploid cells come in twenty three pairs of chromosomes. just like twenty three pairs of shoes. Each always has two.
Homologous chromosomes
Alleles are generally inherited in pairs, except for alleles on the X and Y sex chromosomes in males.
Half of the chromosomes come from the mother and the other half come from the father. 46 total and 23 pairs.
Genes come in pairs because Genes are in chromosomes and chromosomes come in pairs as well.
The do come in pairs.
Chromosomes come in pairs, so the number is even.

Yes, any cell of an organism, whether it be a skin cell, brain cell, muscle cell, or other, has chromosomes. Humans have 23 unique chromosomes which come in pairs in every cell of their body.
Walter Sutton used grasshoppers to test chromosomes and hereditary. He discovered that chromosomes come in pairs, one set from the mother and one from the father, and that these pairs split up during meiosis.
