Question

true or false question
most human body cells contain 23 chromosomes.
o true
o false

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Human body cells are mostly somatic cells. Somatic cells are diploid, meaning they contain 2 sets of chromosomes. Each set has 23 chromosomes, so somatic cells have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs). Only gametes (sperm and egg cells) are haploid and contain 23 chromosomes. So the statement "Most human body cells contain 23 chromosomes" is false.

Answer:

False
