About this listen

 Each human cell has 46 chromosomes, arranged in 23 pairs. That is, we have 2 copies of each chromosome, one from our father, and one from our mother.

This occurs in all the cells of our body, except in the sex cells, that is, in the ovules and in the sperm, which contain only 23 chromosomes.

    Thus, when a sperm fertilizes an egg, it gives rise to a zygote with 23 pairs of chromosomes.
