How do germline mutations differ from somatic mutations a Ge
How do germ-line mutations differ from somatic mutations? (a) Germ-line mutations involve small changes to DNA such as base-pair substitutions, while somatic mutations usually involve large deletions. (b) Germ-line mutations occur during DNA replication, while somatic mutations do not. (c) Germ-line mutations result in mutant gametes, while somatic mutations do not. (d) Germ-line mutations are reversible, while somatic mutations are not. (e) Germ-line mutations result in cancers, while somatic mutations do not. There could possible be multiple answers
Solution
The correct answer is option C. Germ-line mutations result in mutant gametes, while somatic mutations do not.
