a diploid organism whose somatic (nonsex) cells each contain 32 chromosomes produces gametes containing chromosomes. a diploid organism whose somatic (nonsex) cells each contain 32 chromosomes produces gametes containing 16 chromosomes
A cell with two complete sets of chromosomes is known as a diploid organism cell (2n). The body cell, also known as the somatic cell, is a cell that is not involved in reproduction. Therefore, it is simply intended for purposes other than reproduction, such as growth, repair, etc.
Only reproductive cells go through meiosis; all other cells go through mitosis. As a result, a cell with 32 body chromosomes will divide meiosis to create gametes. Nota Bene: Meiosis is one of the two cell division processes—the other being mitosis—that results in four daughter cells (gametes), each of which has half as many chromosomes as the parent cell. Another name for it is reduction division. In this instance, a 32-chromosome diploid (2n) cell will go through meiosis to create gametes with 16 chromosomes apiece (reduced by half). This is done to make sure that each resulting individual or zygote acquired the proper number of chromosomes during gamete fusion or fertilisation, i.e., 16 (from male) + 16 (from female) = 32 chromosomes overall.
