Every sex cell (number 23 in all humans) has 46 chromosomes, but when it divides (meiosis) it needs to mate with someone else's cell to make a baby. It chops Dna in half so you get 23 chromosomes, 1 of each instead of two of each. once your cell mates with the opposite sex's cell, you get 46 again and you have a baby.

How many chromosomes are in a human cell?

Body 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.But sex cells (sperm or ovum, known as gametes or diploid cells) contain only 23 chromosomes (unpaired), when they meet (forming a Zygote), the 23 from each male and female gamete form a cell containing 46 chromosomes to make a Haploid cell.Normal body cells (known as a haploid cells) contain 46 chromosomes (or 23 pairs of chromosomes).There are genetic diseases/disorders such as Down's syndrome that occasionally have one more.Normally, 46. Unless aneuploidy occurs.46 Chromosomes in human body
