● Of all the given options somatic cells have 23 chromosomes is incorrect.
● This is because somatic cells are vegetative cells are normal body cells which contain 23 pairs of chromosomes.
● 23 pairs of chromosomes can be elaborated as 23 + 23 that is 46 chromosomes.
● So every somatic cell contains 46 chromosomes but in the option given it is mentioned that 23 chromosomes are present in somatic cells so the option is incorrect.
