Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation; Somatic mutations are mutations that occur in body cells, that is the cells that do not make gametes. These mutations are not passed on to further generations; for example, if a mutation that changes a gene in a skin cell would not affect your children because skin cells don't produce gametes.
