Body cells have "pairs" of chromosomes while sex cells have only single sets of chromosomes. The human body cells have 22 pairs of autosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosomes for a total of 23 pairs or 46 chromosomes.
But sex cells (sperm or ovum, known as gametes or diploid cells) contain only 23 chromosomes (unpaired), when they meet (forming a Zygote), the 23 from each male and female gamete form a cell containing 46 chromosomes to make a Haploid cell.
Normal body cells (known as a haploid cells) contain 46 chromosomes (or 23 pairs of chromosomes).
There are genetic diseases/disorders such as Down's syndrome that occasionally have one more.
Normally, 46. Unless aneuploidy occurs.
46 Chromosomes in human body
A human somatic cell typically contains 46 chromosomes.
A human cell typically contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes.
After interphase, there are 46 chromosomes present in a human cell.
A human lung cell has 46 chromosomes, as do all human body cells.
A human gamete has 23 chromosomes. This is half the number of chromosomes found in a regular human cell, which has 46 chromosomes (23 pairs).
23 chromosomes
It has 23 chromosomes.
A human somatic cell typically contains 46 chromosomes.
There are 46 chromosomes in 1 human cell.
46
There are 23 haploid chromosomes in a normal human gamete (sex cell).
46 chromosomes. 23 pairs
64 chromosomes
There are 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans46 chromosomes
23
The human sperm cell has 23 chromosomes. White blood cells have 46 chromosomes. Mature red blood cells to not contain a nucleus, and therefore has no chromosomes. Platelets are cell fragments and also do not contain nuclei.
There are 46 chromosomes in a normal human cell and 23 in the sex cells. People with down syndrome has 47 chromosomes.
