The human cells that would contain 46 chromosomes are somatic cells, and these cells are diploid.
Explanation: Somatic cells are the cells that make up the vast majority of the body. Somatic cells each have the complete set of chromosomes. In humans, that means that the somatic cells have 46 chromosomes each − 23 pairs, one set of 23 from each parent, for a total of 46.
It should be noted that germ cells also begin with 46 chromosomes, or 23 pairs of homologues, making them diploid. After replication of the chromosomes, there are 46 chromosomes (92 chromatids) present in the germ cells.
For example, humans are diploid (2n) and have 46 chromosomes in their normal body cells. These 46 chromosomes are organized into 23 pairs: 22 pairs of autosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosomes. The sex cells of a human are haploid (n), containing only one homologous chromosome from each pair.
In humans, each cell normally contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46.
When the cell divides, the copies are pulled apart, and each new cell gets one identical copy of each chromosome. This type of cell division is called mitosis, and it produces cells with a total of 46 chromosomes. Beginning soon after fertilization (see below), all of the cells in your body were made this way.
There are 23 pairs of chromosomes in somatic cells; one member of each pair is paternal (from the father) and one maternal (from the mother). There are 22 matched pairs of autosomal chromosomes, plus one pair of sex chromosomes.
So the correct answer should be option "23".
In humans, somatic cells are diploid, meaning they contain two sets of chromosomes, one inherited from each parent. DNA mutations in somatic cells can affect an individual, but they cannot be passed on to their offspring.
46 chromosomes in a human call, arranged in 23 pairs. These 46 chromosomes carry the genetic information that's passed from parent to child through heredity. It is the very detail of this genetic material – in the DNA – that makes most people (other than identical siblings) totally unique.
nucleusChromosomes are structures found in the center (nucleus) of cells that carry long pieces of DNA. DNA is the material that holds genes. It is the building block of the human body.
the nucleusChromosomes are found in the nucleus of every cell of our body and are made up of DNA, tightly coiled around proteins. We have 23 pairs of chromosomes altogether, and they can only be easily observed during cell division.
