The two statements that best support the claim that a mutation in a gamete has a different effect than the same mutation in a somatic cell are:
**A. Mutations in gamete cells are passed down from parents to offspring.**
**C. Gamete cells are fertilized during sexual reproduction.**
These statements emphasize the heritable nature of mutations in gametes and distinguish them from mutations in somatic cells, which do not get passed to the next generation.
