because gametes only have 23 chromosomes while somatic cells have 46.. when a gamete from a mother cell meets a gamete from a father cell during fertilization, they combine to create one 46 chromosomed somatic cell now a zygote, that cell will then further divide to create more somatic cells which will keep dividing to form a fetus ... hope that answers your question
