A mutation in a ____________ cell will arise during meiosis and be passed from parent to offspring, while a mutation in a ____________ cell will arise during mitosis and not be passed on.Select one:a.skin; cancerb.somatic; gametec.cancer; germd.gamete; somatic

What is worse, a mutation in somatic cell or a gamete? Why?ResponsesSomatic cell, because it undergoes mitosis in all the body cells.Somatic cell, because it undergoes mitosis in all the body cells.Gamete, because it undergoes mitosis in all the sex cells.Gamete, because it undergoes mitosis in all the sex cells.Gamete, because it can be passed on to your children.Gamete, because it can be passed on to your children.Somatic cell, because it can be passed on to your children.
