Normal body cells contain pairs of chromosomes. For example, in humans there are 23 pairs of chromosomes. Of these, 22 pairs (=44 chromosomes) are autosomes and one pair is the sex chromosomes. When gametes are made the number of chromosomes is halved. This is so that when two gametes fuse during fertilisation, the normal chromosome number is restored. So in humans, gametes contain 23 singlechromosomes. Of the 23 single chromosomes in a gamete, 22will be autosomes and one will be a sex chromosome. So, if your question is about humans, the answer is: 22. See: http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/Biology/cellprocesses/celldivisionrev3.shtml

How many autosomes?

Humans have 22 pairs of autosomes, which make up 44 total autosomes in each cell of the body. These autosomes are responsible for carrying the majority of an individual's genetic information, excluding the sex chromosomes.


How many autosomes are present in a normal cell?

There are 44 autosomes present in a normal human cell, which are the non-sex chromosomes. Each parent contributes 22 autosomes to their offspring, resulting in a total of 44 autosomes in diploid cells.
