The correct response is:
**Somatic cell mutations are not passed to the next generation.**
Somatic cells are non-reproductive cells that make up most of the body's tissues and organs, and they contain the full set of chromosomes (diploid). Mutations in somatic cells do not get transmitted to offspring, whereas gametes (sperm and eggs) are reproductive cells that carry genetic information to the next generation.
