Difference between somatic variation and germinal variation:

The main difference between the "somatic variation" and "germinal variation" is that

  • Somatic variation is the variation that takes place in the "somatic cells"
  • While germinal variation is the variation that takes place in "germ cells" such as "eggs or sperms".
  • Furthermore, mutation also can be agent in the genetic variation. Eukaryotic organisms have 2 primary cell types.  
  • Mutations can take place in either cell type. Because they do not take place in cells that yield rise to gametes, the mutation is not passed along to the next generation by sexual means.

(C) Both Somatic and Germinal
