Mutations to gametes can be passed on to an organism's offspring.

Mutations to somatic cells are only present in the type of cell in which the mutation occurred.

Explanation:

A mutation is an abnormality that is found in the genome of cells

In a somatic cell, cells multiply by mitosis and in a gamete cell, cells replicate by meiosis.

Therefore, mutation in gametes has to do with transfer of offspring through the embryo while mutation in somatic cells stay in the cell because their function is not for offspring production.

As a result of this, the statements that correctly describe mutations in gametes and mutations in somatic cells is Mutations to gametes can be passed on to an organism's offspring and Mutations to somatic cells are only present in the type of cell in which the mutation occurred.

no, but sometimes i do.
