Verified step by step guidance

Understand the definition of somatic cells: Somatic cells are any cells forming the body of an organism, excluding germ cells (sperm and egg).

Recognize that somatic cells undergo mitosis: Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth.

Consider the genetic content: Since somatic cells are produced through mitosis, they inherit the same genetic material from the parent cell, meaning they have identical genetic content.

Differentiate organelles from genetic content: While somatic cells may have variations in the number or type of organelles due to their specific functions, their genetic content remains identical.

Conclude that somatic cells of an individual organism have identical genetic content, regardless of their organelle composition or function.
