Humans have 46 chromosomes present in a diploid cell.



Among those, there are two sex-determining chromosomes,


And 22 pairs of autosomal, or non-sex, chromosomes.


The total number of chromosomes in diploid cells is described as 2n, which is twice the number of chromosomes in a haploid cell (n).
