Final answer:

The number of chromosomes found in a human cell is 46 (23 pairs).

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of chromosomes found in a human cell is 46 (23 pairs). Human cells normally have two sets of chromosomes, one set inherited from each parent. Each set contains 23 chromosomes, and each chromosome is matched by a chromosome of the same type in the other set, resulting in 23 pairs of chromosomes.
