forty-six. In a normal human being there are twenty three pairs of chromosomes which govern protein manufacture. In a normal body cell the body cell has two sets of genetic information to choose from because of this, and when threatened, it may change which chromosome to read information off of. In a reproductive cell there are only twenty-three chromosomes, one for each pair.
