Which statement about somatic mutations is true? A. They exist in all the cells of the body.
B.
They are acquired through exposure to mutagens.
C. They are inherited via sperm and egg cells.
D. They are passed on to offspring.

B

Explanation:

Somatic mutations are caused by exposure to mutagens. Somatic mutations cannot occur in germ cells (sperm and egg). A somatic mutation may present in a certain type of cell, and not another due to the cause of the mutation.

for example, no new evidence will demonstrate that the earth does not orbit around the sun (heliocentric theory), or that living things are not made of cells (cell theory), that matter is not composed of atoms, or that the surface of the earth is not divided into solid plates that have moved over geological timescales .
