The body cell that has 23 pairs of chromosomes is called a somatic cell.

Here's why:

* Somatic cells are all the cells in your body except for sperm and egg cells (gametes).

* Humans have 46 chromosomes in total, arranged in 23 pairs. One chromosome from each pair comes from your mother, and the other comes from your father.

* Gametes (sperm and egg cells) have only 23 chromosomes, one from each pair, so they can combine with another gamete to form a new individual with 46 chromosomes.

So, all the cells in your body that are not involved in reproduction, like your skin, muscle, bone, and nerve cells, are somatic cells with 23 pairs of chromosomes.
