tatuchka [14]3 years ago

Gametes are the cells in human body used for reproduction, such as sperms or eggs, and somatic cells are the other body cells, such as muscle cells, skin cells and all other.

First, they have different number of chromosomes. Gametes have only one set of chromosomes, while somatic cells have a complete 2 set of chromosomes. This is because fertilization requires 2 gametes joining together and this will help maintain the correct amount of chromosomes at last.

Second difference between them is that gametes are products of meiosis, while somatic cells are products from mitosis. Both are types of cell divisions but meiosis produces 4 genetically different cells while mitosis produces 2 genetically indentical daughter cells.

How does sand silt and Clay affect soil nutrients and plants
Ghella [55]
Sand is granular and coarse meaning that water and nutrients can flow through it quite easily. Clay on the other hand has very fine particles that cling together to form a waterproof substance which traps/ stops any nutrients or water from moving down. Clay's also quite difficult for plants to get their roots into. Silt has a texture between clay and sand, meaning that it is the ideal substance as it allows the best water and nutrition movement in the soil. Most plants will grow best in silt, but there are some plants who are more adapted to living in sand (e.g. Marram grass) or clay.
