How many chromosomes does a diploid human cell contain?
Every human, besides defected ones, has a total of 46 chromsomes haploid(23) + haploid(23)=Diploid(46). Somatic cells in humans contain 46 chromosomes, and they are all diploid. Human gametes are haploid, and contain 23 chromosomesHuman cells have 23 pairs ( haploid) of large linear nuclear chromosomes, giving a total of 46 ( diploid ) per cell. ** Humans have special gonosomes ( sex chromosomes, in contrast to autosomes). These are xx in females and xy in males. . Hope this helped for more information about this subject I would suggest going to a website that deals with Biology and human cells I would look up somatic cells(normal cells).
