No, meiosis is not the cell division that produces somatic cells.

Here's why:

* Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces gametes (sperm and egg cells) which are involved in sexual reproduction.

* Somatic cells are all the cells in the body except for gametes.

Mitosis is the cell division process that produces somatic cells. Mitosis creates two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell.

Here's a table to summarize:

| Cell Division | Produces | Number of Daughter Cells | Genetic Content |

|---|---|---|---|

| Mitosis | Somatic cells | 2 | Identical to parent cell |

| Meiosis | Gametes | 4 | Half the number of chromosomes as parent cell |
