This is the 2n or diploid condition.
How many chromosomes do you have meme. Let the chromosome number of a cell at g1 phase of interphase is 8. Males and females differ in a pair of chromosomes called sex chromosomes. Reeves s muntjac and antelope also have 46 chromosomes. During anaphase we now have a total of 16 chromosomes and 16 chromatids in short each chromatid is now a chromosome. People have 23 pairs of chromosomes for a total of 46 chromosomes. Females have two x chromosomes in their cells and males have one x and one y chromosome. You may be surprised to hear that potatoes gorillas and deer mice have 48 individual.
Pictured below we see how the 2n 8 cell from above has progressed from having 8 chromosomes to 16 chromosomes.

The 23rd pair the sex chromosomes differ between males and females. This is the n or haploid condition. Inheriting too many or not enough sex chromosomes can lead to serious problems.
Females have 22 autosomes and two x chromosomes i e 22 xx while males have 22 autosomes and an x and y chromosome each i e 22 xy. That means you have 22 pairs of uniquely shaped autosomal chromosomes plus 1 pair of sex chromosomes for a total of 23 chromosome pairs. So sticking with the human example do the math and you can see that humans have 44 autosomal chromosomes. Discover what an extra or missing chromosome causes. As mentioned before humans have 46 individual chromosomes that are arranged into 23 pairs. In humans each cell normally contains 23 pairs of chromosomes for a total of 46. First think carefully in what all stages changes in number of dna molecules and chromosomes takes place.
