Manatees, specifically the West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus), have a diploid chromosome number of 44 in their somatic cells. This means that they possess 22 pairs of chromosomes. Chromosome numbers can vary among different species, but for manatees, 44 is the established count.
Diploid Cells
No, somatic (non-sex) cells have twice the number of chromosomes that sex cells have.
There are 46 chromosomes in your body cells. The egg cells have half the amount of chromosomes as the body cells, so there are 23 chromosomes in the egg cells.
Yes, that is true. Sex cells, such as eggs and sperm, are haploid, meaning they have half the number of chromosomes as somatic cells. Somatic cells are diploid, with two sets of chromosomes inherited from both parents.
Non-somatic cells, such as germ cells (sperm and egg cells), have half the number of chromosomes compared to somatic cells. In humans, somatic cells have 46 chromosomes, while germ cells have 23 chromosomes.

46
A chicken has 78 chromosomes in its somatic cells.
The diploid number of chromosomes in a horse's cell is 64, therefore they have 32 pairs of chromosomes in their somatic cells.
Human somatic cells typically have 46 chromosomes.
Adult cells could refer to any cell in the adult body. Somatic cells however, are body cells (cells that have diploid number of chromosomes), different from germ cells (containing haploid number of chromosomes)
If a somatic cell has 30 chromosomes, then the gametes produced by that cell would contain 15 chromosomes. Gametes, like sperm and egg cells, are haploid cells containing half the number of chromosomes as somatic cells, which are diploid.
I will assume that you mean human cells. Somatic cells are diploid (2n), containing two sets of chromosomes, one of paternal, one of maternal origin. Gametes, on the other hand, are haploid (n), with a single set of chromosomes, ie. half as many as the somatic cell. Now, the haploid chromosome number (n) is characteristic of the species, and in humans this number happens to be 23. Therefore a human gamete has 23 chromosomes, and a human somatic cell 23 pairs, or 46 chromosomes.
