Somatic (diploid) cells have pairs of chromosomes. They have 46 chromosomes, making 23 pairs. All the cells in the human body are diploid cells, with the exception of the gametes (sperm and ova).
Gametes are sex cells (eggs and sperm), they only have 23 chromosomes total. This is because they will combine with another gamete to form an embryo that will have 46.

How many autosomal chromosomes do humans have?
44 separate , and 22 paired
How many chromosomes in one cell?
There are 46 chromosomes in each cell
How many chromosomes are in each cell after mitosis?
Mitosis produces two cells that have the same number of chromosomes as the original (parent) cell. For example, a human cell has 46 chromosomes - so after mitosis each cell will have 46 chromosomes.
If a diploid cell containing 28 chromosomes undergoes meiosis how many chromosomes will each daughter cell have?
56 chromosomes
How many chromosomes will each daughter cell have?
It depends on the type of cell division. In mitosis, 2 daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell are created. In a human, this would be 46 chromosomes. In meiosis, 4 daughter cell with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell are created. In a human, this would be 23 chromosomes.
What is the total number of paired chromosomes in a body cell called?
genome
What is the total number of paired chromosomes in the body cell called?
genome! :)
What stage of mitosis is occurring when the chromosomes start to align at the equator of the cell?
The phase in which paired chromosomes line up on the equator of the cell is called metaphase.
What are the chromosomes that are paired one from each parent called?
they are called homologous chromosomes
What is the total number of paired chromosomes in a body cell?
46
What are paired chromosomes called that have genes from the same traits?
homolegous chromosomes
What are paired up chromosomes called?
duplicated
What two types of paired cell structures are copied?
Chromosomes and centromeres.
When do copied chromosomes divide?
The paired chromosomes separate at the kinetochores and move to opposite sides of the cell during anaphase.
Are the sex chromosomes paired in the cell?
yes,in the somatic cells.But not in the reproductive cells
Paired chromosomes are said to be what?
Except for the sex chromosomes paired chromosomes are homologs.
Chromosomes have similar paired genes called?
Sister Chromatids
