The correct response is:
**Somatic cell mutations are not passed to the next generation.**
Somatic cells are any cells that are not gametes (sex cells), and they have the full set of chromosomes (not half). Additionally, somatic cells can undergo cell division. As such, mutations in somatic cells cannot be inherited by offspring, while mutations in gametes can be passed on to the next generation.
