Answer 1

Body cells in are known as somatic cells and they have 23 pairs or 46 chromosomes. However, human eggs and sperms only have 23 chromosomes. They fertilize to make zygote with 23 pairs. Nevertheless, when zygote develops to an individual, the gonads (ovary and testis) would have gametes with 23 chromosomes. Human sex cells are known as gametes. 

Answer 2

I'm not sure what the question is but...

 

In humans, each cell normally contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46. 23 pairs are inherited from your mother and 23 are inherited from your father. The 23rd pair, the sex chromosomes, differ between males and females. Females have two copies of the X chromosome, while males have one X and one Y chromosome.
