how many chromosomes you would expect to find in a human skin cell
The human sex cell or human gamete has half the number of cells that any other normal human cell would have. A normal human cell (the one from your skin, mou â¦ th, lung, liver, sex organs, etc.) has 23 pairs of chromosomes and as such are called diploid cells.
The other two chromosomes, X and Y, are the sex chromosomes. This picture of the human chromosomes lined up in pairs is called a karyotype. In humans, each cell normally contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46.
