Somatic cells undergo mitosis and the resulting cells have the same number of chromosomes as the original. Sex cells undergo meiosis and the resulting cells have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

∙ 11y agoHi,
To start with, sex cells and somatic cells have totally different functions.
Sex cells are used entirely for the use of reproduction and somatic cells are what makes up your body and helps you function. Sex cells have 23 chromosomes, and only one set of genetic information that incorporates traits of both you mum and dad. Somatic cells on the other hand have 46 chromosomes and have two sets of genetic information (one from your dad and one from your mum). When these cells divide, they also go through different systems. Sex cells go through meiosis, which is separated into eight steps and results into 4 different cells. Somatic cells go through mitosis which ends up in two daughter cells.
Hope this helped.

∙ 9y agoA somatic cell is a body cell. It has the diploid number of chromosomes. For example, human somatic cells have 46 chromosomes (in 23 pairs).
A sex cell is a gamete (sperm or egg cell). It has the haploid number of chromosomes. For example, human gametes have 23 chromosomes.

Is this true that sex Cells have one-half of the number of chromosome Pairs as body -Somatic- Cells have?
Yes it is. Gametic sex Cells have the genetic complement of 1N; somatic Cells are 2N.
Do body cells have less chromosomes than sex cells?
No, somatic (non-sex) cells have twice the number of chromosomes that sex cells have.
What is difference between somatic cells and gametes cells?
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).
Does meiosis divide sex cells and body cells?
Yes, mitosis produces somatic cells for growth and repair of the organism.
How many of sex chomosome and autosome are in a human somatic cell?
44 autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes are present in human somatic cells .
Is achondroplasia in a sex or somatic cell?
Achrondoplasia is in all of the cells that have genes in them, not just the sex cells or somatic cells.

What do somatic cells form?
Somatic cells make up the body cells, as opposed to the gametes, which are sex cells.
Is a hepatocyte a somatic cell?
Yes, a hepatocyte is a somatic cell. All the cells in the body, except for sex cells (sperm and ovum/egg), are somatic cells.
Is this true that sex Cells have one-half of the number of chromosome Pairs as body -Somatic- Cells have?
Yes it is. Gametic sex Cells have the genetic complement of 1N; somatic Cells are 2N.
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 kind of cells would be diploid?
Somatic (body) cells. NOT sex cells.
Do body cells have less chromosomes than sex cells?
No, somatic (non-sex) cells have twice the number of chromosomes that sex cells have.
Does somatic cells contain sex chromosomes?
Yes ,they do .
What are non-sex cells categorized as?
if you mean asexual then that is a cell that does not need a partner to reproduce. This is usually a single celled organism that reproduces by having the cell split in two and form into two different cells
What is difference between somatic cells and gametes cells?
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).
Does meiosis divide sex cells and body cells?
Yes, mitosis produces somatic cells for growth and repair of the organism.
