I'm afraid your questions doesn't make sense. Chromosomes don't have cells- they are found in cells. Bacteria are unicellular organisms so only consist of one cell, but they are capable of having multiple chromosomes.
In Eukaryotes chromosomes are found in the nucleus but bacteria are Prokaryotes. Since they do not have a nucleus, the chromosomes can be anywhere within the cell. Where it gets tricky is that bacteria can also have molecules called "Plasmids" which are DNA molecules distinct from Chromosomal DNA. Typically Plasmids are circular and Chromosomes are in an X shape, but both are made of DNA which is in the infamous double helix shape.
Good luck :)

How many chromosomes can be found in a Leksak bird's cells?
how many chromosomes can be found in each of the leksak birds 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 chromosomes do body cells of organisms have in relationship to the sex cells of the same organism?
There are 46 chromosomes in the body cells of organisms which have a relationship with the sex cells.
How many chromosomes will the new skin cells have?
Skin cells divide via mitosis - therefore the new cells will have the same number of chromosomes as the original cell. Therefore in humans, the new skin cells will have 46 chromosomes.
How many chromosomes have non somatic cell?
Except in the egg and sperm, all cells are somatic cells and have the normal number of chromosomes.
What is a difference between a typical animal cell and a bacterial cell?
The main difference between an animal cell and a bacterial cell is that a bacterial cell contains a plasmid, a ring of DNA, opposed to the chromosomes that animal cells possess. There are other differences, such as size (bacterial cells are many times smaller) and whether or not they contain membrane bound organelles, which bacteria do not. Bacteria cells have also flagella/flagellum that an animal cells (except spermatozoa or sperm cells) does not, a "tail" strand that extends out of the cell to propel it forward.

What did Sutton observe about the relative numbers of chromosomes in the body cells and sex cells of grasshoppers?
body cells of a grasshopper has 24 chromosomes and 12 chromosomes in the sex cells so as many body cell chromosomes you have you will have half that number of chromosomes in your sex cells.

2 chromosomes
How many chromosomes do skin cells have?
In a human being, there would be 23 pairs of chromosomes, adding up to 46 chromosomes. In fact, all the body cells have this many chromosomes normally.
How many chromosomes are in their sex cells?
Sex cells have half the number of chromosomes as the original cell, and are said to be haploid. In human sex cells there are 23 chromosomes.
Are chromosomes and sex cells the two major cells in your body?
No. Chromosomes are parts of cells, and sex cells are just one of many types of cells.
