How many chromosomes would there be in a chimpanzee's nerve or bone cells if their skin cells have 48?

Please tell me how you found this out. Thanks.|||All cells in an animal should have the same amount of chromosomes. They all came from the same begins, their zygote. Since the skin cells have 48 chromosomes, then the nerve and bone cells must have 48 as well. However, their sex cells, like sperm (male) or egg (female) have only 24 chromosomes because these cells unite to form one cell, the zygote.|||48, the all the body's cells have the same number chromosomes except the sex cells.|||48
