What are 3 differences between somatic cells and gametes?

Answer 1

Somatic cells or body cells have a dipliod or full set of chromosomes. Gametes or sex cells, also called germ cells, have a hapliod number of chromosomes or half the number. Sperm and eggs are the gametes of humans, and you misspelled cell.......... artard

Answer 2

1: The somatic cells have one copy of each chromosome from each parent, so it has two copies of each total. This is called 'diploid'. A human somatic cell, for instance, has 23 chromosome pairs, or a total of 46 chromosomes.

2: The gamete's chromosomes have undergone crossing over, in which a gene or genes have been switched. In other words, the gene for eye color you got from your mother, on the chromosome you got from your mother, hopped over onto the chromosome from your father, and the chromosome you got from your father kicked the gene for eye color that was already on the chromosome you got from your father, back to the chromosome you got from your mother.

3. Somatic cells undergo only one division at a time, mitosis; gametic cells actually double their original, diploid amount of chromosomes to become tetroid (four copies) before undergoing a double division, meiosis. It is during the tetroid stage that crossing over occurs. Four gametic cells are formed at the end of meiosis. However, in the case of eggs, only one useful egg, or ovum, is produced. The other three cells are tiny and useless. On the other hand, sperm are all equal, with four sperm being produced from one round of meiosis.

Answer 3

Somatic cells are diploid (contain two sets of chromosomes) while gametes are haploid (contain one set of chromosomes). Somatic cells are involved in growth and maintenance of the body, while gametes are involved in sexual reproduction. Somatic cells undergo mitosis for cell division, while gametes undergo meiosis to reduce their chromosome number.

Answer 4

Gametes will fuse to produce offspring.
