Yes, somatic cells are non-reproductive cells.
Somatic cell.
Non-somatic cells, such as germ cells (sperm and egg cells), have half the number of chromosomes compared to somatic cells. In humans, somatic cells have 46 chromosomes, while germ cells have 23 chromosomes.
No, telomerase is typically not active in somatic cells.
Somatic cells are not associated with meiosis. Meiosis only occurs in specialized cells called germ cells, which are responsible for producing eggs or sperm in organisms undergoing sexual reproduction. Somatic cells, on the other hand, undergo mitosis for growth and repair in multicellular organisms.
Another name for body cells is somatic cells.
The conclusion that two kinds of cells, reproductive (gametes) and non-reproductive (somatic) cells, exist is attributed to German biologist August Weismann. He proposed the germ plasm theory in the late 19th century, which distinguished between germ cells involved in reproduction and somatic cells that make up the body. This distinction laid the groundwork for modern genetics and our understanding of heredity.

Non-somatic cells, such as germ cells (sperm and egg cells), have half the number of chromosomes compared to somatic cells. In humans, somatic cells have 46 chromosomes, while germ cells have 23 chromosomes.
Somatic cells make up the body cells, as opposed to the gametes, which are sex cells.
No, telomerase is typically not active in somatic cells.
If you're not referring to the term somatic cells, I suppose they could also be known as animal cells - at least in most animals.
Somatic cells undergo mitosis.

Yes, a hepatocyte is a somatic cell. All the cells in the body, except for sex cells (sperm and ovum/egg), are somatic cells.
Somatic cells are all the cells that make up an organism except for germ cells.
