Question

remember that chromosomes are super tiny (after all, they have to fit inside the nucleus of a cell!). human body cells have two sets of 23 chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes. the reason that a person has two sets of chromosomes is because each person has one set of chromosomes from their mom and one set from their dad. this is why you dont look exactly like your mom or exactly like your dad - because you have chromosomes from both of them!
