It will depend on the animal - the number of chromosomes varies from species to species.
Somatic cells are non-sex cells. This means that in sexually reproducing animals, somatic cells usually have 2 pairs of chromosomes (they are called diploid cells).
Human somatic cells have 46 (23 pairs of) chromosomes.
Cat somatic cells have 38 (19 pairs of) chromosomes.
Dogs have 78 (39 pairs of) chromosomes.

I don't know man, I'm looking for the same response myself.
Yes, normal body cells typically have two chromosomes of each pair, one inherited from each parent.
An organism with 24 chromosomes in each body cell will produce sex cells with 12 chromosomes each. This is because during meiosis, the chromosome number is halved to ensure the correct number of chromosomes in the offspring.
Each daughter cell produced by mitosis will have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Therefore, each daughter cell will also have 60 chromosomes.

Sex cells (better known as gametes) being product of meiosis have single set (haploid number) of chromosomes whereas body cells have diploid number. Thus, 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes (XY), thus 46 chromosomes are present in our body cells. The gametes (sex cells) contain only 23 chromosomes in each.
Each daughter cell produced by mitosis will have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Therefore, each daughter cell will also have 60 chromosomes.
The two copies of each chromosome in body cells are called homologous chromosomes. These chromosomes are similar in size, shape, and genetic content and are inherited from each parent.
Sex cells are haploid cells, meaning that they have half the cells of body cells. If a pig has 38 chromosomes, then in its egg cells there will be 19 chromosomes. Also in a male pig there will be 19 in its sperm cells.
Diploid is the term for cells that contain two chromosomes of each pair. Euploid is a term meaning normal body cells.
Normal human body cells typically have 46 chromosomes in their nuclei, arranged in 23 pairs. These chromosomes contain genetic material that carries instructions for the development and functioning of the body.

After mitosis occurs, the number of pairs of chromosomes in each of the squirrel's body cells would remain the same as before, which is 40 pairs of chromosomes. Mitosis is a type of cell division that produces two identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
