No
Germ cells are cells that become gametes (are n: have have the genetic material) and somatic cells are all the rest (2n)
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).
Somatic cells undergo mitosis.
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.
In plants, the gametes (such as pollen and egg cells) have half the number of chromosomes as somatic cells. This means that the pairs of cells that do not have identical chromosome numbers in a plant species are the gametes and somatic cells. Gametes have half the number of chromosomes as somatic cells due to the process of meiosis that reduces the chromosome number by half during gamete formation.

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.
somatic cell
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.

no. only the cells in the gonads which are to become gametes undergo mitosis. blood cells, like all cells but gamete cells are called somatic and only divide by mitosis.
there are many different cells in the human body, but they are all eukaryotic cells (which is one of the two types of cells)
Gametes only have one of each chromosome, whereas somatic cells have a pair.
Somatic cells undergo mitosis.
Somatic cells make up the body cells, as opposed to the gametes, which are sex cells.
Somatic cells undergo mitotic division but not meiotic division. Meiotic division is only seen in germ cells to produce gametes.
somatic cells divide by mitosis. gametes, and sexual cell differentiation take place through meiosis.
