A
23
B
5
C
46
D
7
Explanation: 

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. The 23rd pair, the sex chromosomes, differ between males and females.

Detailed explanation-3: -Humans have two sets of 23 chromosomes because you get a set from your mother and the other set from your father, resulting in two sets. What aspects of the genome can and cannot be determined through karyotyping? Karyotyping can give information on an individual’s sex and on chromosomal disorders.

Detailed explanation-4: -Human cells normally contain 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes in each cell .

Detailed explanation-5: -Scientists have numbered the chromosome pairs from 1 to 22, with the 23rd pair labeled as X or Y, depending on the structure. The first 22 pairs of chromosomes are called autosomes. The 23rd pair of chromosomes are known as the sex chromosomes, because they decide if you will be born male or female.
