Chromosomes are not reproductive cells. They are structures within cells that carry genetic information in the form of DNA. Reproductive cells, like eggs and sperm, contain half the number of chromosomes as other cells in the body.
A single human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes (22 autosomes and a pair of sex chromosomes ). These are found in all human cells (RBC's and platelets being exception ). So with human body made up of unbountable number of cells, the actual number of chromosomes in the human body is unbountable times 46= unbountable.
Sex cells (better known as gametes) being product of meiosis have single set (haploid number) of chromosomes whereas body cells have diploid number. Thus, 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes (XY), thus 46 chromosomes are present in our body cells. The gametes (sex cells) contain only 23 chromosomes in each.
There are 46 chromosomes in a skin cell, as there are in all body cells. Sex cells have 23 chromosomes.
In a human being, there would be 23 pairs of chromosomes, adding up to 46 chromosomes. In fact, all the body cells have this many chromosomes normally.
Chromosomes are found in all cells. They are found inside the nucleus of the cell.

No. The sex cells have only one set of 23 chromosomes.

All body cells contain a total number of 46 chromosomes except sex cells (the egg and the sperm) which have half the number of chromosomes (23) no.... body cells or somatic cells have 46 chromosomes which is the diploid chromosome number of homo sapiens... gametes or sex cells have 23 chromosomes which is the haploid chromosome number...
There are 46 chromosomes in a skin cell, as there are in all body cells. Sex cells have 23 chromosomes.
In terms of chromosomal number, there are two types of cells in the human body.Autosomes, or body cells, have 46 chromosomes (the diploid number)Allosomes, or sex chromosomes, have 23 chromosomes (the haploid number)
23.Body cells have 23 PAIRS of chromosomes, while all reproductive cells have 23 CHRMOSOMES.

It has 46 chromosomes because it is a body cell. All body cells have 46 chromosomes except our sex cells, which have 23. Body cells are refered to as 2n, or diploid, while sex cells are just n, or haploid. When sex cells combine they form another regular body cell, because the chromosomes come together.
By them all being cells in your body.
