How many chromosomes are present in an embryo?

A healthy embryo has 22 pairs of chromosomes and 2 sex (gender) chromosomes. Incorrect number of chromosomes or chromosome aneuploidy is known to be a major cause of IVF failures and miscarriages. In rare cases, if the pregnancy is carried to term, it can lead to congenital issues in the child.
