The word 'soma' comes from Greek word, meaning 'body'. Somatic cells form the body of a multicellular organism, but gametes (egg/sperm) are not produced by such cells. Meiosis takes place within a small number of reproductive cells/germ cells which give rise to gametes. Hence somatic cells are not involved in inheritance. ()

The cells of plants and animals have three main parts. 1. The cell wall is called the membrane. 2. The liquid inside the cell is called the cytoplasm. 3. The inner core of the cell is called the nucleus and holds the cell’s DNA. The DNA is a set of instructions telling cells what to do, how to build the body, and how to keep it healthy.
