Question

how many chromosomes are in a normal human body cell?

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

A normal human body cell (somatic cell) has 46 chromosomes. These are organized into 23 pairs. Gametes (sperm and egg cells) have half the number (23 chromosomes) as they are produced through meiosis for sexual reproduction. 92 chromosomes would be an abnormal state (like during certain stages of cell division errors or in some cancerous cells, but not the normal body cell state).

Answer:

46
