46.

The cells of the human body, for example in the liver, brain, and muscles, contain two sets of chromosomes, and are called diploid. There are 23 chromosomes in each set, and we inherit 23 from each parent.

Why is it important to have half as many chromosomes as normal body cells?

The gametes must have half as many chromosomes as normal body cells because they unite to form a zygote, which is the first body cell of the new organism. For example, human body cells have 46 chromosomes and human gametes (sperm and egg cells) have 23 chromosomes. When the sperm fertilizes the egg, the zygote will have 46 chromosomes, and is the first body cell of the new human.


How many chromosomes in normal human eggs and sperm is the same as in the body cells?

Both normal human eggs and sperm contain 23 chromosomes, which is half of the total number of chromosomes found in other body cells. When a sperm fertilizes an egg, their combined 46 chromosomes create a new organism with a complete set of 46 chromosomes.

How many chomosomes in your body?

In a normal Human body cell (not a gamete) there are 46 chromosomes. This is not the same number of chromosomes in our bodies, only in one cell, and there are trillions of cells in the human body. In a gamete (a sperm cell or egg cell) there are 23 chromosomes. When the sperm and egg cell nuclei fuse in fertilisation, a diploid cell of 46 chromosomes is produced.
