Detailed explanation-4: -In cellular biology, the term somatic (from Ancient Greek (sôma) ‘body’) is often used to refer to the cells of the body, in contrast to the reproductive (germline) cells, which usually give rise to the egg or sperm (or other gametes in other organisms).
Detailed explanation-5: -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.
