a germline mutation is one the was passed on to offspring because the egg or sperm cell was mutated.
a somatic mutation is a mutation of the somatic cells (all cells except sex cells) that cannot be passed on to offspring.
Muscles, nerves, and skin are not gametic (sperm or egg) cells in diploid animal cells. Instead, they are somatic cells responsible for functions such as movement, sensation, and protection. Reproductive organs, on the other hand, are specialized structures that produce gametes in diploid animals.
Somatic cell.
Germline cells are responsible for passing genetic information to offspring, while somatic cells make up the body's tissues and organs. Germline cells undergo meiosis to produce gametes, while somatic cells undergo mitosis for growth and repair. Germline cells have half the number of chromosomes as somatic cells and are involved in reproduction, while somatic cells have a full set of chromosomes and perform various functions in the body.
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 involved in sexual reproduction. These are most of the cells in your body. Gametes are sex cells (sperm and ovules/eggs).
Yes, that is true. Sex cells, such as eggs and sperm, are haploid, meaning they have half the number of chromosomes as somatic cells. Somatic cells are diploid, with two sets of chromosomes inherited from both parents.
Short Answer is: twice the number of Chromosomes as found in the gametic [Haploid] Cells.
Mitosis leads to the production of human somatic cells, which are the non-reproductive cells that make up most of the body's tissues and organs. This process results in two genetically identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the original cell. In contrast, gametic cells, or gametes (sperm and eggs), are produced through meiosis, a different type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half.
A somatic, or body, cell is always, or at least typically, DIPLOID. Haploid cells which result from the process called Meiosis are "gametic", or germ, or sex, cells.

Another name for body cells is somatic cells.

somatic cell
In a typical somatic cell, mitosis produces one diploid "daughter" cell from one diploid parent cell. In a gametic cell, meiosis produces 4 haploid "daughter" cells from one diploid parent cell.
Mitosis reproduces somatic cells, meiosis reproduces sex cells. Mitosis- Cell division involving body cells. Divides once. Meiosis- Cell division involving sex cells. Divides twice.
