Question

5 multiple choice 1 point how many chromosomes does a human cell have? 23 22 46 44 clear my selection

Explanation:

In human biology, most human cells (somatic cells) have a diploid number of chromosomes. This means they contain 23 pairs of chromosomes, and \(23\times2 = 46\) chromosomes in total. Gametes (sperm and egg cells) have 23 chromosomes (haploid), but the question is about a human cell in general (somatic cells are the typical case here). So the correct number of chromosomes in a human cell is 46.

Answer:

C. 46 (assuming the options are labeled as A. 23, B. 22, C. 46, D. 44)
