AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -All somatic cells have same genes but the genes whose product is not needed are turned off. Some genes are expressed constitutively and some genes are turned off and on depending upon the requirement of proteins.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Nearly every cell in a person’s body has the same DNA. Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus (where it is called nuclear DNA), but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria (where it is called mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA).

Detailed explanation-4: -2 Chromosome and genetic diversity 2.1 Gonosomes (chromosomes related with gender) are in passive form in somatic cells. cells. 2.3 Genes are found in gametes, there are no genes in somatic cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Somatic Cells 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.
