Detailed explanation-1: -Humans typically have 23 pairs of chromosomes, or 46 chromosomes in total. Chromosomes are made up of long strands of DNA, which contain all the body’s genes.
Detailed explanation-2: -In humans, each cell normally contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46. Twenty-two of these pairs, called autosomes, look the same in both males and females.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sex chromosomes. The human body has 46 chromosomes of which 44 are called autosomes and 2 are called sex chromosomes. They exist as 44+XX in females and 44+XY in males.
Detailed explanation-4: -Humans, like many other species, are called ‘diploid’. This is because our chromosomes exist in matching pairs – with one chromosome of each pair being inherited from each biological parent. Every cell in the human body contains 23 pairs of such chromosomes; our diploid number is therefore 46, our ‘haploid’ number 23.
Detailed explanation-5: -Turner syndrome (also known as monosomy X) is a condition caused by monosomy . Women with Turner syndrome usually have only one copy of the X chromosome in every cell, for a total of 45 chromosomes per cell. Rarely, some cells end up with complete extra sets of chromosomes.
