Which statements explain how a mutation in a somatic cell is different from a mutation that occurs in gametes?

• Somatic cell mutations occur in cells that give rise to gametes.

  Gamete mutations occur in cells that result in apoptosis.

• Somatic cell mutations are maintained in the gene pool.

  Gamete mutations are expelled from the gene pool.

• Somatic cell mutations are generally not passed to offspring.

  Gamete mutations are usually passed to offspring.

• Somatic cell mutations will not be expressed by the individual that contains the mutation.

  Gamete mutations will be expressed by the individual.
