Each cell is having 23 pairs of chromosomes in a somatic cell. The chromosomes have genes. Each chromosome is with number of set genes. Even though each cell is with same number of chromosomes, the genes of the chromosomes have a program accordingly the genes are activate. Naturally having billions of cells and chromosomes are not activated together. This is known as cellular program.

How many chromosomes are in a sperm cell from an animal whose somatic cells have 32 chromosomes (2n=32)? If 2n=32, how many chromosomes are in a haploid cell?

So in an animal with 32 (2n) chromosomes in somatic cell, number of chromosomes in sperm will be 16 (n).

Is it true that your somatic cells have chromosomes just like the ones in your dad's sperm and your mom's egg, but that those chromosomes are not so similar to the chromosomes that your dad had in his somatic cells? How can this be explained?

Somatic cells will be in diploid condition and Germ Cells will be in Haploid condition. So, Somatic cells cannot have chromosomes like those in the sperm or egg cell.
