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.​
