no. somatic cells are all cells of the body that are not gametes. meiosis only involves the production of gametes. not somatic cells
In humans, cells that do not produce gametes are collectively called somatic cells. Somatic cells do not include sperm and ova, the cells from which they are made, and undifferentiated stem cells.
somatic cell
Somatic cells are not involved in sexual reproduction. These are most of the cells in your body. Gametes are sex cells (sperm and ovules/eggs).
Gametes only have one of each chromosome, whereas somatic cells have a pair.
Somatic cells undergo mitosis.
Somatic cells make up the body cells, as opposed to the gametes, which are sex cells.
No
somatic cells divide by mitosis. gametes, and sexual cell differentiation take place through meiosis.
Germ cells are cells that become gametes (are n: have have the genetic material) and somatic cells are all the rest (2n)
Body cells. This distinguishes them from sex cells, gametes.
In humans, all the somatic cells (body cells) are diploid. However, gametes (sex cells) such as sperm and egg cells are haploid. Gametes have half the amount of genetic material than which is found in somatic cells. These are the only human cells which are not diploid.
