how many chromosomes do we have on our somatic cells
Confidence votes 1.3K. 46 chromosomes are there in a human somatic cell. 22 pairs of homologous chromosomes are there with one pair of XX (in case of females) and one pair of XY (in case of males). Hence, 22 pairs of chromosomes + one pair of XX/XY chromosomes gives 23 pairs of chromosomes, i.e., 46 chromosomes.
