Most body cells contain 46 chromosomes in 23 pairs; one chromosome in each pair comes from the mother, one from the father.
The gamete cells (sex cells) contain 23 chromosomes per cell.
When a sperm cell (with 23 chromosomes from the father), fertilises an egg cell (with 23 chromosomes from the mother), the resulting fertilised egg has 46 chromosomes. Via cell division, it grows into a human, with 46 chromosomes in each of its body cells.
In humans, each cell normally contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46. Twenty-two of these pairs, called autosomes, look the same in both males and females. The 23rd pair, the sex chromosomes, differ between males and females. Females have two copies of the X chromosome, while males have one X and one Y chromosome.

How many chomosomes in your body?
In a normal Human body cell (not a gamete) there are 46 chromosomes. This is not the same number of chromosomes in our bodies, only in one cell, and there are trillions of cells in the human body. In a gamete (a sperm cell or egg cell) there are 23 chromosomes. When the sperm and egg cell nuclei fuse in fertilisation, a diploid cell of 46 chromosomes is produced.
How many chromosomes are in one buffalo body cell?
beefalo are a hybrid that have 120 chromosomes
What type of typical body cell has 46 chromosomes?
The typical body cell (or somatic cell) of a human has 46 chromosomes: 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes. In females, there are two X chromosomes and in males there is one X and one Y.
How does the number of chromosomes in a zygote compare with the number of chromosomes in a body cell?
Double.Each gamete (sex cell) has one copy of each chromosome. Somatic (body) cells have 2 copies.
How many chromosomes are there in each cell?
it depends on they living organism. like human we have 23 chromosomes and that mean we have 46 chromosomes each
How many chromosomes are in one human cell?
46 single chromosomes which is 23 pairs of chromosomes in one human body cell.
How many chromosomes in one sex cell?
Half of a somatic (body) cell. So 23.

Where in the animal is the chromosomes located?
Chromosomes are located in every cell of the body humans have 24 chromosomes, so there are 24 chromosomes in one single cell
The number of chromosomes in a sex cell of an organism is what kind of chromosome?
A sex cell is haploid, having one set of chromosomes, which is half of the number of chromosomes as in a body cell.
How many chromosomes does a koala have?
8becausea koala has 8 chromosomes in its sperm cell therefore 8 chromosomes in a koala egg.
How does the number of chromosomes in a zygote compare with the number of chromosomes in a body cell?
Double.Each gamete (sex cell) has one copy of each chromosome. Somatic (body) cells have 2 copies.
How many chromosomes does a rockhopper penguin have?
38 chromosomes in one cell.
How many chromosomes does a triploid cell have?
You should find one half the number of chromosomes in sex cells (gametes) than in body cells.
How many chromosomes are there in each cell?
it depends on they living organism. like human we have 23 chromosomes and that mean we have 46 chromosomes each
