AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Only the egg cell has a nucleus. Hint: A human skin cell is a type of somatic cell. Human egg cells are the female gamete cells. We know that somatic cells are diploid but gamete cells are not.

Detailed explanation-2: -Somatic cells are any cell in the body that are not gametes (sperm or egg), germ cells (cells that go on to become gametes), or stem cells. Essentially, all cells that make up an organism’s body and are not used to directly form a new organism during reproduction are somatic cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -in males, these four cells are all sperm cells. in females, one of the cells is an egg cell while the other three are polar bodies (small cells that do not develop into eggs).

Detailed explanation-4: -A gamete is a reproductive cell of an animal or plant. In animals, female gametes are called ova or egg cells, and male gametes are called sperm. Ova and sperm are haploid cells, with each cell carrying only one copy of each chromosome.
