Answer:

Human cells contain two sets of chromosomes, one set inherited from each parent. Each cell normally contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, which consist of 22 autosomes (numbered 1 through 22) and one pair of sex chromosomes (XX or XY). However, sperm and ova normally contain half as much genetic material: only one copy of each chromosome. Each chromosome contains many genes, the basic physical and functional units of heredity.
