Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the terminology: Body cells are the cells that make up most of the tissues and organs in an organism, while reproductive cells are specialized cells involved in sexual reproduction.
Recall the term for body cells: These are called 'somatic cells,' which are diploid (contain two sets of chromosomes).
Recall the term for reproductive cells: These are called 'gametes,' which are haploid (contain one set of chromosomes).
Eliminate incorrect options: 'Prokaryotic' and 'eukaryotic' refer to cell types based on structure, not their role in the body. 'Haploid' and 'diploid' describe chromosome numbers, not the type of cell.
Match the correct terms: The correct pairing is 'somatic' for body cells and 'gamete' for reproductive cells.
