Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Understand that human somatic cells are diploid, meaning they contain two sets of chromosomes—one set inherited from each parent.
Recall that the total number of chromosomes in a human somatic cell is 46.
Since chromosomes come in pairs, divide the total number of chromosomes by 2 to find the number of pairs.
Use the formula: \(\text{Number of pairs} = \frac{\text{Total chromosomes}}{2}\).
Calculate \(\frac{46}{2}\) to find the number of chromosome pairs in a human somatic cell.
