Somatic cells are non-reproductive cells that make up the tissues and organs of the body, while gametic cells are reproductive cells (sperm and egg) involved in sexual reproduction. Somatic cells are diploid, containing two sets of chromosomes, while gametic cells are haploid, containing only one set of chromosomes.
Germline mutations are mutations that can be passed on to offspring, while somatic mutations are mutations that happen in any other cell type and cannot be inherited by offspring. Hope this helps.
Gametic mutation occurs in sex cells and is passed on to the next generation, and this can become a sex-linked recessive disorder; hemophilia is an example.
Somatic mutations occur in body cells - non sex cells - so changes are vnot passed on to future generations.
A mutation in a gametic (sex) cell would be passed on to offspring, whereas mutations in somatic (body) cells are not passed on.
The reason for this is somatic cells are not passed on during sexual intercourse so there is no way for this to be transferred and inherited by the offspring. Gametes, on the other hand, are transferred to the offspring through fertilization.
How about you actually study and read your book......whoever posted this from a Biology class in Bamberg.....
Gametic mutations pass from generation to generation but somatic mutations cannot pass to offsprings. Twelve Months Ago this was True. Now we have the new Science Epigenetics.
Germ cell mutations can be passed on to offspring, somatic cell mutations cannot

What are not a diploid animal cell Gametic muscles nerves skin and reproductive organ?
Muscles, nerves, and skin are not gametic (sperm or egg) cells in diploid animal cells. Instead, they are somatic cells responsible for functions such as movement, sensation, and protection. Reproductive organs, on the other hand, are specialized structures that produce gametes in diploid animals.
Body cells can be called?
Somatic cell.
How many chromosomes have non somatic cell?
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.
Is somatic cells associated with meiosis?
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 cell?
Another name for body cells is somatic cells.
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 this true that sex Cells have one-half of the number of chromosome Pairs as body -Somatic- Cells have?
Yes, that is true. Sex cells, such as eggs and sperm, are haploid, meaning they have half the number of chromosomes as somatic cells. Somatic cells are diploid, with two sets of chromosomes inherited from both parents.
How many chromosomes does a somatic -diploid- corn Cell have?
A somatic, diploid corn cell has 20 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 40 chromosomes.
Is a haploid cell a sex cell or a body cell?
A somatic, or body, cell is always, or at least typically, DIPLOID. Haploid cells which result from the process called Meiosis are "gametic", or germ, or sex, cells.
What are not a diploid animal cell Gametic muscles nerves skin and reproductive organ?
Muscles, nerves, and skin are not gametic (sperm or egg) cells in diploid animal cells. Instead, they are somatic cells responsible for functions such as movement, sensation, and protection. Reproductive organs, on the other hand, are specialized structures that produce gametes in diploid animals.
Body cells can be called?
Somatic cell.
What is another name for normal body cells?
Another name for body cells is somatic cells.
Do gametes come from germ cells of somatic cells?
somatic cell
How many cells are pproduced from one parents cell?
In a typical somatic cell, mitosis produces one diploid "daughter" cell from one diploid parent cell. In a gametic cell, meiosis produces 4 haploid "daughter" cells from one diploid parent cell.
How many chromosomes have non somatic cell?
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.
What do somatic cells form?
Somatic cells make up the body cells, as opposed to the gametes, which are sex cells.
What is the difference between cells produced by mitosis and meiosis?
Mitosis reproduces somatic cells, meiosis reproduces sex cells. Mitosis- Cell division involving body cells. Divides once. Meiosis- Cell division involving sex cells. Divides twice.
