Body cells or Somatic cells are produced by mitosis. These cells are also diploid meaning they have chromosomes from both parents. Gametes on the other hand are produced by meiosis. These cells are haploid, having only half the original chromosomes in the cells. Gametes are also known as sex cells being that they are usually involved in sexual processes in both the Plantae and Animalia kingdoms (or phyla if you're a microbial biologist). Sperm and ovules are forms of gametes. Spermatogenesis and oogenesis are the respective haploid processes for these cells.

What is the difference between the genetic material in body cells and gametes?
Gametes only contain one half the total genetic information.
What do somatic cells include?
Body cells. This distinguishes them from sex cells, gametes.
What is the difference between cells and a factory?
the difference between a cell and a factory in that cells are in your body and factory is not
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
Which cell type is formed by meiosis?
Meiosis forms haploid cells. This means that they have half the number of chromosomes as somatic (body) 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).
What is the difference between the genetic material in body cells and gametes?
Gametes only contain one half the total genetic information.
In body cells the number of gametes are?
gametes are sperm and egg cells. they arent in cells.
What do somatic cells include?
Body cells. This distinguishes them from sex cells, gametes.
How are gemetes different from other cells in the body?
The most obvious difference is that gametes are haploid, meaning that they contain only half the full complement of chromosomes in a somatic cell. There are also structural difference between the sperm and the egg and the gametes of different species.
Are most of the cells in the human body called haploid or diploid?
All cells in the human body that are not gametes (sperm or egg cells) are diploid. Gametes are haploid.
What is the difference between cells and a factory?
the difference between a cell and a factory in that cells are in your body and factory is not
Which body cells complete MEIOSIS?
The gametes.
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
How does the number of chromosome in a persons gametes compare with the numbers of chromosomes in the body cells?
There are half as many chromosomes in gametes than in normal body cells.
The parent cells different from ordinary body cells are called?
Gametes
What is the difference between body cell and body tissue?
Body cells are just... cells. Body cells make up body tissue.
