Somatic cells are body cells which are important part of the body's multicellularity and function. So they should have same DNA code in order to maintain a balance in the functioning of the body. And except sex cells (gamates) all the cells of human body (i.e. somatic cells) have the same DNA code. Another reason for this is mitosis. As body cells arise from mitosis, the division is conservative and doesn't involve any process of inducing variation in the cells, hence all the cells originating from it have the same DNA code.

Where are the human cells with 46 chromosomes found?
In humans, the diploid number (or 2n) is 46. Somatic cells contain 2n number of chromosomes. Somatic cells are those that make up the body. Every cells that makes up every organ contains 2n number of chromosomes. Gametes (or sex cells) contain haploid (n) number of chromosomes
When are human cells diploid?
All human somatic (body) cells are diploid. Only the gametes, sperm and egg cells, are haploid.
What are body cells called?
there are many different cells in the human body, but they are all eukaryotic cells (which is one of the two types of cells)
What is the characteristic number of chromosomes in human somatic cells?
In human, somatic cells are the cells that make up the body parts of an individual, other than the germ cells. They contain 46 chromosomes organized into 23 pairs.
Is somatic cells associated with meiosis?
no. somatic cells are all cells of the body that are not gametes. meiosis only involves the production of gametes. not somatic cells
What is the importance of somatic cells?
All the cells in your body that are not sex cells. Devoid of the complications here, sperm in males and eggs in females are the only cells in the adult human body that are NOT somatic cells.
