Every human has 23 chromosome _pairs_, total 46. Only egg and sperm cells have 23 chromosomes each.

Yes, that should be 23 chromosome pairs, not 23 chromosomes. Thanks for pointing this out.

Are those inventions?

Yes, they are interesting technology businesses. However, when did a video streaming service, or a DNA testing service become inventions?
