Well, just about all of them. There is evidence of dwarf galaxies without center black holes, and other galaxies which have gotten their black hole kicked out by another merging galaxy. But for the most part, yes, you can expect a black hole at the center.

  • I know one thing for sure. Me and you will never know the answer to that lol. We will be LONG gone by the time a SMBH at the center of a galaxy dies. But I assume that everything in it would just kind of start slowing drifting away in all directions since there isn't anything with a strong enough gravity to hold it together.
