NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A diploid cell has two complete sets of chromosomes. Most cells in humans are diploid, comprising 23 chromosome pairs, so 46 chromosomes in total. This is 22 pairs of autosomes and a pair of sex chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Every cell in the human body contains 23 pairs of such chromosomes; our diploid number is therefore 46, our ‘haploid’ number 23.

Detailed explanation-3: -Somatic cells such as blood cells and muscle cells are diploids that have a total of 46 chromosomes. The germ cells such as sperms are haploid that contain a half copy of chromosomes that is 23 chromosomes in their nucleus.

Detailed explanation-4: -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. Two of the chromosomes (the X and the Y chromosome) determine your sex as male or female when you are born.

Detailed explanation-5: -In humans, each cell normally contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46.
