Answer:

46 chromosomes

Step-by-step explanation:

Chromosomes form after DNA replicates; prior to replication, DNA exists as chromatin. Chromosomes contain genes, which code for proteins. Human cells normally have 46 chromosomes, made up of two sets of chromosomes, one set inherited from each parent.
