It implies that There are 46 chromosomes (dsDNA (double-stranded) molecules) are present in each somatic cell.

Homo sapiens has 46 chromosomes divided into 23 pairs: 22 pairs of autosomes and 1 pair of gonosomes or sex chromosomes, called X and Y. Male individuals have X and Y (XY) chromosomes. Female individuals have 2 X (XX) chromosomes.

Aneuploidy is an abnormal change in the number of chromosomes in a cell or organism (for example 45 or 47 chromosomes).

In addition to the chromosomes in the nucleus, human cells have DNA in the mitochondria (circular DNA).
