Answer:

Chimpanzees have 24 chromosomes in their sex cells properly termed gametes. In the somatic cells there there are two sets of chromosomes, each chromosome has another like a pair of shoes.

Step-by-step explanation:

A chromosome is a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecule with part or all of the genetic material (genome) of an organism.
