There is no specific relationship between them.
Somatic cells are cells that form the body (or body cells). The contain diploid (2n) number of chromosomes. They divide by mitosis
gametes are also called germ cells or sex cells. They contain haploid (n) number of chromosomes. They do not divide by themselves. They are produced from the primary gametocyte which undergoes a two-stage division process called meiosis

What cell type is diploid sex cell or ovum or gamete or somatic cell?
The only option in that list that can be diploid is the somatic cell.
Is a mosquito a gamete or somatic?
gamete
What difference does it make if a mutation occurs in a somatic cell or in a gamete?
If the mutation occurs in a somatic cell and the cell is still able to reproduce, the mutation continues in the daughter cells in following generations. If a mutation occurs in a gamete, the original organism remains unchanged. If that gamete is used for reproduction, then the mutation will continue in the offspring.
Human cell containing 22 autosomes and a Y chromosome?
A normal human cell containing 44 autosomes and two X chromosomes is a somatic cell of a female. The word "somatic" comes from the Greek word "soma" which means body.
Are gamete cells mutations and somatic cells mutations inheritable?
Since only gamete cells actually participate in the creation of a new organism, it is only the mutations in gamete cells which are inheritable; mutations in somatic cells are not inheritable.
Is muscle a gamete cell?
No a muscle cell is a somatic cell
What cell type is diploid sex cell or ovum or gamete or somatic cell?
The only option in that list that can be diploid is the somatic cell.
How are Mutations Classified?
A mutation can be classified by the somatic cell or the gamete cells.
How many chromosomes are contained in a human male gamete cell?
In a gamete (sex) cell, there are 23 chromosomes. A gamete is a haploid, or n, whereas a somatic (normal) cell is a diploid, or 2n, and has 46 chromosomes.
Is a mosquito a gamete or somatic?
gamete
What difference does it make if a mutation occurs in a somatic cell or in a gamete?
If the mutation occurs in a somatic cell and the cell is still able to reproduce, the mutation continues in the daughter cells in following generations. If a mutation occurs in a gamete, the original organism remains unchanged. If that gamete is used for reproduction, then the mutation will continue in the offspring.
Explain the difference in the number of chromosomes between a frog somatic cell and a frog egg cell?
A somatic cell is any body cell that is a non-sex cell and an egg cell is the female reproductive cell; the female gamete
What type of cell is Meiosis?
That type of division is done by a gamete (sex cell). mitosis is performed in a somatic (non-reproductive) cell.
What is the chromosome number of gamete?
They have half the number of the somatic (parent) cell. So if a parent cell had 46 chromosomes in its nucleus, then its gamete would have 23(one chromosome from each pair).
How many choromosomes are in a human gamete?
Gametes are haploid cells, this means that they contain half the amount of chromosomes that a somatic cell contains. A normal somatic cell contains 46 chromosomes, while a haploid cell contains 23.
What phase of the cell cycle is the somatic cell?
A somatic cell is any cell in the body or a plant and can therefore do anything, depending on where it is located. e.g. a muscle cell in an arm muscle contracts, an eye cell detects light etc. The only cells which are not somatic are the sex cells such as sperm, eggs (animals), pollen and ovum (plants).
What is another word for sperm?
gamete cell (eggs are gametes too)germ cells (so are egg cells)"little swimmers"seedsemen (actually semen contains sperm)
