Answer 2

Answer:

- Only mutations to reproductive cells can be passed on to offspring.

Explanation:

Mutations to reproductive cells, or gametes, are different than mutations to other cells in the body because only mutations to reproductive cells can be passed on to offspring.

Mutations that occur in the body, or somatic, cells are not passed on to offspring. Therefore, their affects are limited to the organism with the mutation. However, mutations to reproductive cells can be passed on to offspring. These types of mutations, beneficial or harmful, can affect the entire population, and possibly the species.
