Somatic cells are body cells that contain a full set of chromosomes. I imagine that a somatic cell donor donates healthy body cells to someone who needs them.
Diploid, it is somatic cell therefore will contain 46 chromosomes (23pairs) in humans
In a gamete (sex) cell, there are 23 chromosomes. A gamete is a haploid, or n, whereas a somatic (normal) cell is a diploid, or 2n, and has 46 chromosomes.
A mutation in a sex cell may be passed on to an offspring. A mutation in a somatic (body) cell cannot be passed on to an offspring, but can potentially cause cancer in the person who has the mutation.
The main purpose of the cell wall is too protect the cell from too much liquid being diffused in. It also helps keep the cells rectangular structure.
Gametes require half the number of chromosomes of a somatic (regular) cell as gametes are the sex cells. When gametes combine to make a zygote (a fertilised cell), the complete number of chromosomes will be present.
A somatic cell donor clones things. So a cloner.

the clone will come out exactly just like the one who donated the somatic cell
No. Cloning is essentially taking an egg (somatic cell) from the donor and regrowing it in a cell with no nucleus.
A donor cell is a cell that a donor donates for genetic research.
This is Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer, also known as cloning. This was the processed used to clone Dolly the sheep in 1997.
The only option in that list that can be diploid is the somatic cell.
A somatic cell is a cell that reproduces by mitosis. Therefore, a somatic cell transfers its information (in the chromosomes) by producing two daughter cells.
The transfer of a cell nucleus from a somatic cell into an enucleated egg cell.
Yes, liver sells are somatic cells.
The most common form of cloning is somatic cell nuclear transfer. A somatic cell is taken from the animal that will be cloned. This is usually obtained by a skin biopsy. An unfertilized egg is collected from a donor animal. The DNA of the egg is removed and the DNA of the somatic cell is inserted into the egg. The egg and cell fuse. Stimulation causes the new egg to grow as if it had been fertilized by sperm. The egg is then inserted into a "surrogate mother". The animal gives birth to the clone.
A somatic cell is any body cell that is a non-sex cell and an egg cell is the female reproductive cell; the female gamete
