Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which 2 cells would be more genetically similar to each other?
A
2 gametes produced by the same person
B
2 somatic cells produced by the same person
C
2 eggs produced by the same woman
D
2 sperm produced by the same man
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis produces two diploid (2n) somatic cells that are genetically identical to each other and the original parent cell, whereas meiosis produces four haploid (n) gametes that are genetically unique from each other and the original parent (germ) cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Our gametes, egg and sperm and these are all going to produce those non identical hap Lloyd cells or has the somatic cells that go through my toes is they are going to make two identical cells. So therefore the correct answer here is going to be the two somatic cells of this from the same person.

Detailed explanation-3: -What are some examples of somatic cells? Somatic cells make up the connective tissue, skin, blood, bones and internal organs. Examples are muscle cells, blood cells, skin cells and nerve cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Every somatic cell in your body has basically the same DNA, notwithstanding things like mutations and recombinations. (A somatic cell is any body cell that is not a germ cell. Germ cells are reproductive cells-sperm and eggs-which have only half as many chromosomes as somatic cells.)

Detailed explanation-5: -In humans, somatic cells are diploid, meaning they contain two sets of chromosomes, one inherited from each parent. DNA mutations in somatic cells can affect an individual, but they cannot be passed on to their offspring.
