No. Every cell is a somatic cell except for the reproductive cells (the egg and sperm). They are gametes.

What phase of the cell cycle is the somatic cell?
A somatic cell is any cell in the body or a plant and can therefore do anything, depending on where it is located. e.g. a muscle cell in an arm muscle contracts, an eye cell detects light etc. The only cells which are not somatic are the sex cells such as sperm, eggs (animals), pollen and ovum (plants).
How many gonosomes are present in the mouse sperm?
how many gonosomes are in the mouse somatic cell
What is somatic variation?
Mutations that occur in the somatic cells are called somatic variations .New mutations occur twice as frequently in sperm as in eggs(germ cells), probably because so many more cell divisions are required to make sperm than eggs.
If a normal somatic cell from a certain diploid species contains 84 chromozones a sperm oocyte contains what chromozones?
4
How many chromosomes does a somatic cell have in a human?
There are forty six (46) chromosomes in each human body cell.
Human cell containing 22 autosomes and a Y chromosome?
A normal human cell containing 44 autosomes and two X chromosomes is a somatic cell of a female. The word "somatic" comes from the Greek word "soma" which means body.
Is a hepatocyte a somatic cell?
Yes, a hepatocyte is a somatic cell. All the cells in the body, except for sex cells (sperm and ovum/egg), are somatic cells.
How many chromosomes have non somatic cell?
Except in the egg and sperm, all cells are somatic cells and have the normal number of chromosomes.
What is somatic cells?
The word "somatic" is derived from the Greek word soma, meaning "body". Hence, all body cells of an organism - apart from the sperm and egg cells, the cells from which they arise (gametocytes) and undifferentiated stem cells - are somatic cells.

What is somatic mutations?
A mutation in a non-germline cell (germline cells are sperm, egg, etc.).
How many gonosomes are present in the mouse sperm?
how many gonosomes are in the mouse somatic cell
What is another word for sperm?
gamete cell (eggs are gametes too)germ cells (so are egg cells)"little swimmers"seedsemen (actually semen contains sperm)
Define somatic cells?
The definition of somatic cells is any cell, with the exception of reproductive cells of eggs and sperm, in a living organism. Somatic cells are diploid cells that compose the organs and tissues.
What is somatic variation?
Mutations that occur in the somatic cells are called somatic variations .New mutations occur twice as frequently in sperm as in eggs(germ cells), probably because so many more cell divisions are required to make sperm than eggs.

What is an example of Meiosis?
It is a process of reduction division in which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut.
