Solution

The correct term for a body cell, which is not a sperm cell, egg cell, or their precursors, is "somatic cell." Somatic cells make up most of the body's tissues and organs and are distinct from reproductive cells, which are involved in the formation of gametes (sperm and egg).

In summary, among the answer choices provided:

  1. Somatic cell - Correct answer.
  2. Zygote - A fertilized egg, not a body cell.
  3. Gametes - Reproductive cells, not body cells.
  4. Ex cell - This option is not standard terminology.
