Correct answer: Somatic cell mutations are not passed to the next generation.
Brief explanation: Somatic cells are body (diploid) cells that divide by mitosis; gametes are sex cells (haploid) made by meiosis. Mutations in somatic cells affect the individual but are not inherited, whereas mutations in germ cells can be passed to offspring.
