46 total in somatic cells.

23 homologous pairs (chromosomes that carry the same genes). This pairing is why Mendelian inheritance works as it does.

Not all human cells have nuclei/genetic material. Red blood cells for example. And gametes (sex cells) only have 23 total, no homologous pairs.

Hope that helps!
