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

∙ 8y ago1: 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.

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
Cells that do not produce gametes are called?
In humans, cells that do not produce gametes are collectively called somatic cells. Somatic cells do not include sperm and ova, the cells from which they are made, and undifferentiated stem cells.
What do somatic cells include?
Body cells. This distinguishes them from sex cells, gametes.
Is the number of gametes twice the number of chromosomes found in the body cells?
Gametes are cells, in humans they contain 23 chromosomes. Body Cells (Properly Called: Somatic Cells) in humans contain 46 chromosomes (2 sets of 23). Some differences or problems can cause this number to change in specific humans, gametes, and somatic cells. Muscle cells may have hundreds of chromosomes, red blood cells have none.
How do the number of chromosomes compare in gametes and somatic cells?
I will assume that you mean human cells. Somatic cells are diploid (2n), containing two sets of chromosomes, one of paternal, one of maternal origin. Gametes, on the other hand, are haploid (n), with a single set of chromosomes, ie. half as many as the somatic cell. Now, the haploid chromosome number (n) is characteristic of the species, and in humans this number happens to be 23. Therefore a human gamete has 23 chromosomes, and a human somatic cell 23 pairs, or 46 chromosomes.
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).
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
Cells that do not produce gametes are called?
In humans, cells that do not produce gametes are collectively called somatic cells. Somatic cells do not include sperm and ova, the cells from which they are made, and undifferentiated stem cells.
Do gametes come from germ cells of somatic cells?
somatic cell
Do somatic cells or gametes have no matched chromosome pairs present?
Gametes only have one of each chromosome, whereas somatic cells have a pair.
What kind of cells go through mitosis somatic cells or gametes?
Somatic cells undergo mitosis.
What do somatic cells form?
Somatic cells make up the body cells, as opposed to the gametes, which are sex cells.
Are Cells that become gametes are called somatic cell lines?
No
Do somatic cell or gametes divide by mitosis?
somatic cells divide by mitosis. gametes, and sexual cell differentiation take place through meiosis.
What are somatic cell and germ cell?
Germ cells are cells that become gametes (are n: have have the genetic material) and somatic cells are all the rest (2n)
What do somatic cells include?
Body cells. This distinguishes them from sex cells, gametes.
What cells in the body are not diploid cells?
In humans, all the somatic cells (body cells) are diploid. However, gametes (sex cells) such as sperm and egg cells are haploid. Gametes have half the amount of genetic material than which is found in somatic cells. These are the only human cells which are not diploid.
