There won't be more than 23 Chromosomes at any stage unless the individual has a genetic disorder. They align in metaphase during mitosis and meiosis.
During meiosis, the chromosome number decreases by half. For example, if a human cell with 46 chromosomes were to undergo meiosis, the result would be four daughter cells with 23 chromosomes in each.

Eggs and sperms are gametes. They are haploid. Haploid means that they have half the regular number of chromosomes. This works really well because an egg and a sperm join together to begin a new organism which will then have the entire diploid number of chromosomes. A human body cell would have 46 chromosomes. Since a human egg cell is a reproductive cell (sex cell), it would contain only half the number of chromosomes as a body cell. Thus, a human egg cell would have 23 chromosomes. A sex cell has half the number of chromosomes for a good reason. When two sex cells reproduce, they combine to form double the number of chromosomes. So when two cells with 23 chromosomes each reproduce, the offspring would have 46 chromosomes. To keep humans at 46 chromosomes per cell, sex cells are produced through meiosis, which is a process that creates cells with half the number of chromosomes.

Metaphase I or Metaphase II? In metaphase I it would have 24. In metaphase II it would have 6.

Human kidney cells are body cells, so they would have 46 chromosomes.

A cell undergoing mitosis has twice the usual number of chromosomes for that species. For example, human body cells have 46 chromosomes, but after DNA replication, which must occur before mitosis, a human body cell will have 92 chromosomes.

It depends on the type of cell division. In mitosis, 2 daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell are created. In a human, this would be 46 chromosomes. In meiosis, 4 daughter cell with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell are created. In a human, this would be 23 chromosomes.

In a human being, there would be 23 pairs of chromosomes, adding up to 46 chromosomes. In fact, all the body cells have this many chromosomes normally.
