Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The diploid number of human chromosomes is 46, which means each human cell contains two sets of 23 chromosomes (one from each parent). Choice A (22) is incorrect because humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, not 22. Choice C (32) is incorrect because this is not the correct number of chromosomes in humans. Choice D (2) is incorrect because this does not specify the number of chromosomes in a human cell.
