Hey mate here is your answer》 》
In contrast, body, or somatic, cells are the regular cells that form the organism's tissues and organs. Somatic cells of sexual organisms have the diploid number of chromosomes, one set from each parent. Both cell types undergo mitosis, but only the primary reproductive cells, or gametocytes, also undergo meiosis.

Reproductive cells are also known asgametes. Unlike the non-reproductive cells that undergo mitosis, reproductive cells undergo the process of meiosis. Mitosis is asexual reproduction, whereas meiosis is a form of sexual reproduction. There are two different types of gametes or reproduction cells (in case of heterogamy). These are called sperm cells and egg cells. The gametes are haploids and contain only half the chromosomes as compared to the parent cell (which are diploid), and thus have only half the genetic information as compared to the parent cell. Two haploids interact with each other and fertilizes the egg cell. This interaction results in fusing of haploid cells and sharing of chromosomes, which results in a complete set of chromosomes (same in number as the parent cell).
