If a corn cell had 20 chromosomes would that cell be a somatic cell or gamete?

Somatic cells contain two full sets of chromosomes ( making them diploid cells). Gametes are most often haploid cells, meaning they ONLY have one full set of chromosomes, so sense it has 20 and gametes cells only have one it has to be a somatic cell :)
