Detailed explanation-1: -In cellular biology, a somatic cell (from Ancient Greek (sôma) ‘body’), or vegetal cell, is any biological cell forming the body of a multicellular organism other than a gamete, germ cell, gametocyte or undifferentiated stem cell.
Detailed explanation-2: -Body cells; any cell of a living organism other than the reproductive cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -Somatic cells make up most of your body’s tissues and organs, including skin, muscles, lungs, gut, and hair cells. Reproductive cells (like eggs) are not somatic cells. In mitosis, the important thing to remember is that the daughter cells each have the same chromosomes and DNA as the parent cell.
