Human somatic cells contain 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes.
Human somatic cells typically contain 46 chromosomes.
Human somatic cells typically have 46 chromosomes.
The characteristic number of chromosomes in human somatic cells is 46, which is comprised of 23 pairs of chromosomes. These pairs include one chromosome from each parent, with 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes (XX for females and XY for males).
In humans, the diploid number (or 2n) is 46. Somatic cells contain 2n number of chromosomes. Somatic cells are those that make up the body. Every cells that makes up every organ contains 2n number of chromosomes. Gametes (or sex cells) contain haploid (n) number of chromosomes
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.

All of them (in humans), apart from sperm and egg cells (which contain 23)

That depends on the organism you're looking at. In humans, there are 46 chromosomes per normal somatic cell. 46 chromosomes = 22 homolog pairs + 2 sex chromosomes (XX in women or XY in men)
Humans have 23 chromosomes in their gametes, which are sperm and egg cells. This is half the number of chromosomes found in a somatic cell, which has 46 chromosomes.
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.
In terms of chromosomal number, there are two types of cells in the human body.Autosomes, or body cells, have 46 chromosomes (the diploid number)Allosomes, or sex chromosomes, have 23 chromosomes (the haploid number)
Gametes are haploid cells, this means that they contain half the amount of chromosomes that a somatic cell contains. A normal somatic cell contains 46 chromosomes, while a haploid cell contains 23.
There are 23 in both a sperm and egg cell. These unite to form a zygote, which has 46 chromosomes.
