How many chromosomes are in your body cells?
Explanation
The answer is 23 because each normal, non-reproductive cell in the human body contains 23 pairs of chromosomes. One chromosome from each pair is inherited from the mother, and the other from the father. These chromosomes carry genes that determine various traits and characteristics of an individual. Overall, the total number of chromosomes in a body cell is 46, with 23 coming from each parent, excluding reproductive cells like sperm and eggs which have half the number of chromosomes (23) to ensure the correct amount is maintained during fertilization.
