Question

multiple choice question a typical human body cell has ______ chromosomes. o 46 o 18 o 28 o 23 o 52

Explanation:

Human body cells (somatic cells) are diploid, meaning they have two sets of chromosomes. Each set has 23 chromosomes, so the total number of chromosomes in a typical human body cell is \(23\times2 = 46\). The other options (18, 28, 23, 52) do not match the known chromosomal count of human somatic cells (23 is the haploid number for gametes, not body cells).

Answer:

A. 46
