46 Chromosomes in the Human body cells.
Body cells have "pairs" of chromosomes while sex cells have only single sets of chromosomes. The human body cells have 22 pairs of autosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosomes for a total of 23 pairs or 46 chromosomes. Sex cells for humans will have half of that (because they are not paired) so a total of 23 chromosomes.
23 pairs
The short answer is 46 chromosomes in the human body cell.

Save

Eggs and sperm have only 23 each.

Then there is a whole host of genetic disorders, trisomy 21 (Down's syndrome), for example where there are three number 21 chromosomes and each cell would have 47 chromosomes. The syndrome is caused by having too much information--one too many chromosomes.

How many chromosomes are usually found in human cells?

A single human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes (22 autosomes and a pair of sex chromosomes ). These are found in all human cells (RBC's and platelets being exception ). So with human body made up of unbountable number of cells, the actual number of chromosomes in the human body is unbountable times 46= unbountable.


How many chromosomes in normal human eggs and sperm is the same as in the body cells?

There are 23 chromosomes in human egg/sperm. In other human body cells there are 46 chromosomes.

How does the number of chromosomes in gametes of an organism that reproduces sexually differ from the numbers of chromosomes in other cells?

Unlike somatic (body) cells, gametes have two time the number of chromosomes as body cells. Gametes (2n). Body cells (n). For example, human 46 chromosomes in gamete cells but half of that (23) in body cells.


Why is it important to have half as many chromosomes as normal body cells?

The gametes must have half as many chromosomes as normal body cells because they unite to form a zygote, which is the first body cell of the new organism. For example, human body cells have 46 chromosomes and human gametes (sperm and egg cells) have 23 chromosomes. When the sperm fertilizes the egg, the zygote will have 46 chromosomes, and is the first body cell of the new human.
