A
different colors
B
pairs
C
packages
D
small, medium and large
Explanation: 

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

Detailed explanation-2: -Chromosomes come in pairs. Normally, each cell in the human body has 23 pairs of chromosomes (46 total chromosomes). Half come from the mother; the other half come from the father.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: Your chromosomes come in pairs because humans are diploid. This means we get two copies of each chromosome, one copy from our mom and one copy from our dad. These pairs of chromosomes are called homologous chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Because that’s the total number of chromosomes found in almost every human cell-23 pairs to be exact-and those little thread-like structures pack all the information about who you are and what makes you unique.

Detailed explanation-5: -Two chromosomes in a pair – normally one inherited from the mother and one from the father. For example, the two copies of Chromosome 1 in a cell would be referred to as homologous chromosomes.
