Somatic cells- These are body cells that make up most of your body tissues and organs.
Ex. Spleen, Kidneys, and eyeballs are made entirely of body cells.
Germ cells- These are cells in your reproductive organs, such as the ovaries or testes.
These develop into gametes.
Gametes are sex cells- eggs in the female and sperm in the male.
Each species has a certain number of chromosomes per cell.
Our body cells hold 46 chromosomes a cell, in 23 pairs.
