(a)production of new daughter somatic cells from the parent cell wouldn't take place. Cell division would be only by meiosis. Chromosomal number wouldn't be maintained constant. Somatic cells woudn't participate in cell division and the individual dies when the existing cells die.
(b) Well, excess production of cells takes place. (which may even lead to tumors/cancers)
