Human body cells that contain 23 pairs of chromosomes are diploid, meaning they have their full compliment (2 copies) of DNA. Haploid cells are the gametes (sperm and egg) that recombine to form a new diploid organism upon fertilization.

∙ 13y agoBody 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. Sex cells for humans will have half of that (because they are not paired) so a total of 23 chromosomes.

∙ 13y agoYes they do. Every cell contains your bodies DNA, which is made up of 23 chromosomal pairs. These are the basis for everything about you.
Exception of the sex cells, or germ cells, all human cells have 23 chromosomal pairs (2n) and has 46 chromosomes. Sex cells have 23 chromosomes each. (n)

How many chromosomes do humans have in each body cell?
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.
How many chromosomes dose a human cell have?
23 pairs of chromosomes
How many pairs of homologous chromosomes are found in human body cells?
Human cells have 23 homologous pairs. They also must go through meiosis before that. Females have 2 X chromosomes, while Males have an X and a Y chromosome. That's why the males cells decide the gender of the child.
How many number of chromosomes in each body cell?
46 is the diploid number of chromosomes in a human cell and 23 is the total number of haploid cells in humans
Do white blood cells have chromosomes?
A white blood cell have 23 pairs [i.e 46] of chromosomes like other body cells but a germ cell always have 23 chromosomes[i.e half the number of normal body cells].
How many chromosomes are your body chromosomes?
We have 46 chromosomes in our body. In each cell, there's 23 pairs of chromosomes.
How many choromosoms does a human have?
Each cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes - a total of 46.
What does the cell have 23 pairs of?
Human cell has 23 pairs of chromosomes.
How many pairs of chromosomes does a human body haploid sex cell have?
They do not have pairs since they are haploid. They have 23 single chromosomes.
How many pairs of chromosomes do each human skin cell have?
Each human cell has 23 pairs of chromosomes or 46 chromosomes.

it has the same amount as any other cells in your body (with the exception of sex cells which have 23.) a cell in the arm of the body will have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs)
How many chromosomes are in one human cell?
46 single chromosomes which is 23 pairs of chromosomes in one human body cell.
Skin cells have how many pairs of chromosomes?
Yes, any cell of an organism, whether it be a skin cell, brain cell, muscle cell, or other, has chromosomes. Humans have 23 unique chromosomes which come in pairs in every cell of their body.
How many chromosomes exist in your body?
A normal human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46. If you had an average of 40 trillion cells in your body that had 412 chromosomes you would have 4456 trillion chromosomes in your body. Note that some mature cells in your body do not have any chromosomes, some have 26 chromosomes and some cells have 99 chromosomes.
Number of chromosomes in a normal human body cell - or genome?
In humans there are 23 pairs, for a total of 46 chromosomes (the complete genome) in each body cell.
