Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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-3: -Normally, people are born with 23 chromosome pairs, or 46 chromosomes, in each cell-one inherited from the mother and one from the father. A numerical chromosome abnormality can cause each cell to have 45 or 47 chromosomes in each cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Aneuploidy. A genetic condition where someone has either too many or two few chromosomes is called aneuploidy (AN-yoo-ploy-dee). A complete set of genetic information includes 23 pairs of chromosomes, which adds up to 46 chromosomes total. This number includes 22 pairs of autosomes, and one pair of sex chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Scientists call this genetic drift, and it is very common. The idea is that by chance, the human population drifted over to 46 chromosomes. There is some evidence that something serious happened to people around 50, 000-100, 000 years ago.
