Answer:

Somatic cells are the ones obtained by mitosis. They constitute the body tissues and have a variety of different functions. They are <em>diploid</em>, which means they have two copies of each chromosome (2n), one obtained from the father and one from the mother.

Gametes are obtained by meiosis. A diploid cell divides to form four <em>haploid </em>gametes, they have a single copy of each chromosome (n), obtained from the parent cell.

Zygotes are obtained by the fusion of two gametes, one from the father and one from the mother, they are <em>diploid </em>again having two copies of each chromosome.

Sports nutrition is the study and practice of nutrition and diet to improve athletic performance. It focuses on the type and quantity of food and fluid that should be taken by athletes; foods that are rich in vitamins, minerals, supplements and organic substances such as carbohydrates, protein and fats. Ideally, college varsity players should very well know their sports nutrition because they are mature enough to know their own bodies and its needs more than anybody. Before, during and after tournaments, games or matches, it is but vital to know what your own body needs rather that consulting an expert every single time. However, if there is an increase demand of advice from experts, especially those who are frequent tournament players or those who wanted to do sports professionally, it is advisable to consult nutritionists or dietitian whom are experts in sports nutrition.
