1 answer:

3 0

Somatic cells or body cells have a dipliod or full set of chromosomes. Gametes or sex cells, also called germ cells, have a hapliod number of chromosomes or half the number. Somatic cells are diploid cells, whereas the gametes are haploid cells. Meiosis does not take place during the production of somatic cells, whereas meiosis takes place during gametogenesis (production of gametes) giving rise to haploid cells. Somatic cells do not fuse during sexual reproduction, whereas gametes fuse during sexual reproduction giving rise to a diploid zygote.Somatic cells are found almost everywhere in the body, whereas gametes are restricted to certain parts

What organ lies on the outer wall of the testes within the scrotum?

shutvik [7]

The answer is the epididymis. It is a contracted, tightly-coiled tube linking back of the testicles to the deferent duct (vas deferens). The epididymis contains three parts and these are the head, body, and tail. The head of the epididymis is positioned on larger pole of testis. It stocks sperm for maturation.
