what is a non-reproductive cell?
Somatic cells, which are the body's non-reproductive cells, undergo mitosis during cell division.
A sperm cell is the male reproductive cell responsible for fertilizing an egg cell during sexual reproduction. An egg cell, or ovum, is the female reproductive cell that contains genetic material and is needed for fertilization to occur.
4 Cells are produced by a reproductive cell during meiosis
egg
The male reproductive cell that fertilizes the ovum is called a sperm cell.
A non-reproductive cell, also known as a somatic cell, is any cell in the body that is not involved in the production of gametes (eggs or sperm). These cells make up the majority of an organism's body and perform various functions to support its growth, maintenance, and repair. Non-reproductive cells are diploid, meaning they contain two sets of chromosomes.
That type of division is done by a gamete (sex cell). mitosis is performed in a somatic (non-reproductive) cell.
An oogonium is the hard-walled reproductive cell found in non-seed plants like algae and fungi. It is a structure that contains the developing egg cells.
In humans a male reproductive cell is the sperm, while the female reproductive cell is the egg.
A female reproductive cell is called an ovum
If this mutation isn't present with a gamete cell, then it can not be passed onto the offspring. A non-reproductive cell would be cells that are highly organzied such as nerve cells or brain cells.

Reproductive cells are called GAMETES.
The haploid cells are the sperm and egg cell.
