Somatic (diploid) cells have pairs of chromosomes. They have 46 chromosomes, making 23 pairs.
Gametes are sex cells (eggs and sperm), they only have 23 chromosomes total. This is because they will combine with another gamete to form an embryo that will have 46.
They are called homologous chromosomes (but can also be referred to as homologues or homologs).
The total number of paired chromosomes in a body cell is called the diploid number. In humans, the diploid number is 46, with 23 pairs of chromosomes.

Pairs of chromosomes are not attached. Before mitosis chromosomes replicate themselves, these twin identical chromosomes are attached at the centromere. before cell division the cell has 46 chromosomes (23 pairs) but has 2 copies of each individual chromosome called chromatids,(making a total of 92 chromosones, 46 for each daughter cell) which are joined at the centromere giving the characteristic X shape. Pairs are not joined, chromatids are.
If a cell has pairs of homologous chromosomes, the process likely occurring within the cell is meiosis.
A cell with pairs of chromosomes is called a diploid cell, while a cell with no pairs of chromosomes is called a haploid cell. Diploid cells have two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent, while haploid cells have only one set of chromosomes.
A cell with pairs of chromosomes is called a diploid cell, while a cell with no pairs of chromosomes is called a haploid cell. Diploid cells have two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent, while haploid cells have only one set of chromosomes.
Haloid cells
A cell with pairs of chromosomes is called a diploid cell. Diploid cells have two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent.
This cell is called a diploid cell.
You have 22 pairs of autosomal chromosomes in a cell and 1 pair of sexomal chromosomes in that same cell.
Pairs Of Chromosomes Are Called :Sets
In a "normal" human autosome (normal cell, not a sex cell), there is 23 pairs of chromosomes.
They are called homologous chromosomes (but can also be referred to as homologues or homologs).
The matching pairs of chromosomes in a diploid cell are called homologous chromosomes. These chromosomes are similar in size, shape, and genetic content, with one chromosome inherited from each parent. Homologous chromosomes undergo genetic recombination during meiosis.
The total number of chromosomes in a cell with homologous pairs is twice the number of unique chromosomes. For humans, the total number of chromosomes in a cell with homologous pairs is 46.
Human cell has 23 pairs of chromosomes.
