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.

Why is oxygen important to your human body?
Oxygen is important cells as without oxygen the human body is unable to release enough energy to support life. In theory any other element in the oxygen-group on the Periodic Table can be used to release energy but because other elements in that group are not easily turned into gases they can't used. Last comment; Oxygen is not important for blood; its important for the blood cells themselves and other cells. Blood and blood cells are very different.
How is iron-59 different from all other isotopes of iron how is it the same?
Iron-55 and iron-59 are used to study the way in which red blood cells develop in the body. These studies can be used to tell if a person's blood is healthy.
What in the world are cells?
cells are atoms that are in all matter and your body is made up of cells too!
How does the number of chromosomes in sex cells compare with the number of chromosomes in the body?
Sex cells have 23 chromosomes compared to the body cells' 46 chromosomes. This is because a child is created from half the genome of its father and half the genome of its mother. In other words, 23 chromosomes in the mother's egg and 23 chromosomes in the father's sperm, when combined generate a child with 46 chromosomes in its body cells. However, sometimes mutations occur where more of fewer chromosomes are passed down, this will either result in no embryotic development or the embryo having some kind of syndrome.
Which blood cell takes carbon dioxide or waste away?
red blood cells
What makes brain cells different from other body cells?
they are different time are activated
How many different types of cells does your body contain?
There are only two kinds of cells in our body. One is the Somatic Cells and the other one is Germ Cells/Sex Cells.
How do you think skin cells are important to other body cells?
Skin cells are important to other body cells because they all have to work together. In the same body just doing different jobs.
What makes muscles cells different from other cells in the body?
Muscle cells have multiple nuclei
What is true of the body cells of an organism?
Most cells are somatic (body) cells. The only exception is the gametes.
How are cells different from a human body?
how are cells and human body different
How sex cells different from any other cell in your body?
Sex cells have 1/2 the number of chromosomes than body cells. In humans that is 23.
How do stem cells differentiate from other cells?
Stem cells are different from other cells in the body in several notable ways. They can divide and renew themselves many times, whereas other cells are more limited in their divisions. And when those stem cells divide, the new cells can become specialized if necessary. Stem cells have no assigned function in the body, but through the process of specialization, they can take on roles in any of the body's tissues. These type of cells can be derived from human embryos or from certain spots in the adult human body.
What statement describes the cells in a body system is correct?
some cells in the system may be different from the other cells in the system, but all cells are coordinated and work together
Are cells the same in the human body?
There are different types of cells, but the structures are basically same, with similar organelles and other structures.
How many different types on cells are in your body?
There is roughly around 200 different types of cells in your body.
How are sex cells different from any other cells in the body?
Sex cells have half the number of chromosomes that almost all other cells in the body have. In humans, there are 46 chromosomes in body cells, but only 23 in egg cells and sperm cells. This is because, in sexual reproduction, you get half your genes from your mother and half from your father and 23+23=46 total chromosomes.
