    Question

    The normal cell of human being consists of 46 chromosomes, however, the germ cell has:


    A.

    22 chromosomes


    B.

    44 chromosomes


    C.

    46 chromosomes


    D.

    23 chromosomes

    Correct option is D

    The correct answer is (D)   ​23 chromosomes

    • ​A normal human cell contains 46 chromosomes, while germ cells, like eggs or sperm, have 23 chromosomes.

    Information booster:

    • ​Most human cells are diploid, which means they have two sets of chromosomes (46 in total). Each parent contributes one chromosome to every pair.
    • Germ cells, such as eggs and sperm, are haploid, meaning they have a single set of chromosomes (23 in total).
    • When an egg and sperm combine during fertilization, they form a zygote with 46 chromosomes or 23 pairs.​
