Every cell in your body has the same number of chromosomes, 46. They are all genetically identical. This is called diploid, 2n. 

However, when you make sex cells, egg and sperm, through meiosis, they will have half the normal body cell number, in humans, 23. 
This is called haploid, think hap and half sound alike. this is represented by 1n. 

n is the number of chromosomes that a sex cell has, and every organism on earth has a different sex cell number. 

This is because then when egg and sperm meet, it will be the normal body cell number egg 23 + sperm 23 = 46.
