Somatic cells are the [1] cells, while gametes are the [2] cells . Somatic cells are produced by [3] and make genetically identical daughter cells, while gametes are produced by [4], resulting in genetically distinct daughter cells. Gametes are [5], while somatic cells are [6] . The fusion of gametes to initiate the development of a new individual organism occurs during the process of  [7] , and produce a [8] .
