The correct response is:
**Somatic cell mutations are not passed to the next generation.**
Somatic cells are all the body cells that make up the tissues and organs, and they have the full set of chromosomes (diploid), while gametes (sperm and egg cells) are reproductive cells that contain half the number of chromosomes (haploid) and are involved in reproduction. Mutations in somatic cells generally do not get passed on to offspring.
