∙ 12y agoSomatic cells divide for growth, tissue repair, and maintenance of the body. This process, known as mitosis, allows for the production of identical daughter cells that replace damaged or dying cells.
Somatic cell.
Somatic cells, or body cells, undergo mitosis. These cells divide to produce two genetically identical daughter cells for growth, repair, and maintenance of the organism.
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.
Somatic cells are not associated with meiosis. Meiosis only occurs in specialized cells called germ cells, which are responsible for producing eggs or sperm in organisms undergoing sexual reproduction. Somatic cells, on the other hand, undergo mitosis for growth and repair in multicellular organisms.
Another name for body cells is somatic cells.

somatic cells divide by mitosis. gametes, and sexual cell differentiation take place through meiosis.

From one parent somatic cell, two daughter cells are created.
Somatic cells, or body cells, undergo mitosis. These cells divide to produce two genetically identical daughter cells for growth, repair, and maintenance of the organism.
Somatic cells, which are any cell in the body other than germ cells (sperm and egg cells), carry out mitosis. Mitosis is the process by which somatic cells divide to produce two identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
