Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Somatic cells are a regular type of body cell that is not involved in any way in sexual reproduction. In humans, such cells are diploid and reproduce using the process of mitosis to create identical diploid copies of themselves when they split.

Detailed explanation-2: -Gametes are an organism’s reproductive cells. They are also referred to as sex cells. Female gametes are called ova or egg cells, and male gametes are called sperm. Gametes are haploid cells, and each cell carries only one copy of each chromosome.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -A somatic cell is a term for any cell except a sex cell. The sex cell (or gametes) is called the germline cell of the body. Somatic cells are present in internal organs, such as bone, blood, skin, and connective tissue.
