46

A human fetus starts out as two reproductive cells with 23 chromosomes each, making a fertile 46 chromosome cell that grows into a fetus. So, we are basically just a bunch of developed 46-chromosome-enriched cells.

i think 26 i think 26 46 chromosomes. The sperm cell and egg cell each contain 23 chromosomes, totalling 46. The sperm cells and egg cells are known as haploid cells or sex cells (meaning having 1 set of chromosomes). Once the sperm cell and egg cell joins, a diploid cell is formed (meaning having 2 sets of chromosomes), and a zygote begins to form. The human body contains 2 sets of chromosomes, one maternal and one paternal.
