Almost any cell with a nucleus can be used for chromosome analysis. If a person gets skin cells under the finger nails, these can be used for DNA analysis. It might happen in a crime. A fetus sheds skin cells before birth and these can be used as well.
The chromosome number 23 is found in human sex cells, such as eggs (in females) and sperm (in males). These cells are known as haploid cells, containing half the normal number of chromosomes found in somatic cells.
Human somatic (body) cells contain two sets of 23 chromosomes. Human gametes (sperm and egg cells) contain one set of 23 chromomes -- 22 autosomes and 1 sex chromosome. Only a sperm cell can carry a y chromosome. A sperm cell can also carry an x chromosome. The ovum can carry only an x chromosome, never a y chromosome. So a cell containing 22 autosomes and a y chromosome must be a sperm cell.
Human cells typically have 46 chromosomes, which are organized into 23 pairs. Each chromosome in a pair contains identical components called sister chromatids, which are joined together at a region called the centromere.
Gametic [haploid] Cells are chromosome number n - which involves 23 individual chromosomes. Somatic [or diploid] Cells are chromosome number 2n - which involves 23 pairs of chromosomes. Mitotic Cells are 4n.
One key genetic difference is the presence of a nucleus in human cells, which bacteria lack. Human cells have linear chromosomes enclosed within the nucleus, while bacteria have a single circular chromosome located in the cytoplasm. Additionally, bacteria may have plasmids, small circular DNA molecules that are often absent in human cells.

No. The human cell has 23 chromosome pairs (total 46 chromosomes). Each chromosome has many genes.
The haploid chromosome number is half the chromosome number of the body cells. For example, in humans, body cells have 46 chromosomes. In human haploid cells (sex cells), there are 23 chromosomes.
x chromosone and y chromosome
The number of genes varies from chromosome to chromosome and the number of chromosomes varies from species to species (from as few as 1 single chromosome per cell to as many 30,000 chromosome pairs per cell). Human cells have 23 chromosome pairs per cell.
Yes.
A female human has two X sex chromosomes in her cells. A male human has one X and one Y sex chromosome in his cells.
Oh, dude, the 2n chromosome number for skin cells is 46. Like, that's the normal number of chromosomes in a human cell, so your skin cells are just chilling with their 46 chromosomes, doing their thing. It's like the perfect number for a skin cell to be, you know?
