Detailed explanation-2: -Human somatic cells have 46 chromosomes consisting of two sets of 22 homologous chromosomes and a pair of nonhomologous sex chromosomes. This is the 2n, or diploid, state. Human gametes have 23 chromosomes or one complete set of chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-3: -Human body cells (somatic cells) have 46 chromosomes. A somatic cell contains two matched sets of chromosomes, a configuration known as diploid. The letter n is used to represent a single set of chromosomes; therefore a diploid organism is designated 2n.
Detailed explanation-4: -Somatic cells have 44 autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes. Whereas Sex cells have 22 autosomes and 1 sex chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-5: -In a diploid human cell, chromosome number is 46.
