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).
It has 23 chromosomes.
