    • When compared to a gamete of the same species, a somatic cell that has just completed the S phase of its cell cycle. Has twice as many chromosomes and twice as much DNA. During the S phase, the cell's DNA content doubled due to replication, but the number of chromosomes remains constant. The number of chromosomes in gametes is half that of somatic cells. As a result, the somatic cell that has completed the S phase has twice the number of chromosomes and four times the amount of DNA as the gametic cell of the same species.

    A somatic cell is any cell in the body that is not sperm or egg cells. Somatic cells are diploid, which means they have two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent. Somatic cell mutations can have an effect on the individual, but they are not passed down to offspring.
