Chromosomes are a form of DNA. Actually it is DNA wrapped with proteins and compacted so as to be able to participate in specific steps of cell cycle [which I will not describe here as it will take too much]. Because of it is a form of DNA "packaging" lets say, asking about chromosomes is like asking about one of the different possible "outfits" that DNA might have. So the answer is that every cell that has DNA and its DNA iscondensed in a way that gives it the property of being very strongly stained by particular dyes, has a chromosome. In practice "chromosome" is a rather loosely defined term and it definitely is not used exclusively for cells containing nucleus. Prokaryotic organisms -which do not have a nucleus- have chromosomes as well.

What shows chromosomes present in a cell?
A karyotype is a picture of all the chromosomes in a person's cells. A human has 46 chromosomes in all but sex cells.
How many chromosomes are present when meiosis is started?
In humans, 46 chromosomes are present when meiosis begins. The four daughter cells that result from meiosis have 23 chromosomes.
What chromosomes are found in body cells but not sex cells?
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.
Where genes and chromosomes are found in your body?
Answerchromosomes are found mostly in the nucleus of your cells and there is where you will find the chromosomes.
What kind of cells has chromosomes?
all

The chromosomes present in the salivary gland of dipteran insects is?
The same as in every other cell of their bodies. All chromosomes are present in all cells, just different parts are activated so they influence the cells.
Where are chromosomes present in a cell?
Chromosomes are seen in the nucleus of the eukaryotic cells.
Are homologous chromosomes present in diploid or haploid cells?
Diploid cells

Has how many chromosomes withn the egg cells?
All human gametes (sex cells), which means egg cells and sperm cells, have 23 chromosomes. When the sperm fertilises the egg, the 23 chromosomes from the egg cell and the 23 chromosomes from the sperm cell join to make cells with 46 chromosomes. In summary, all cells in the human body have 46 chromosomes, except sperm cells and egg cells, which have 23.
How many pair of chromosomes do normal human cells contain?
Gametic [haploid] Cells are chromosome number n - which involves 23 individual chromosomes. Somatic [or diploid] Cells are chromosome number 2n - which involves 23 pairs of chromosomes. Mitotic Cells are 4n.
What kind of cells has chromosomes?
all
What are cells with pairs of chromosomes?
This is a diploid number, and all cells except gametes/ sex cells which have a haploid or half this number. Red blood cells have no chromosomes at all.
