Question

which type of mutation occurs only in reproductive cells?
somatic mutation
germline mutation
point mutation
frameshift mutation

Explanation:

Somatic mutations occur in non - reproductive cells. Germline mutations specifically occur in reproductive cells (sperm and egg) and can be passed on to offspring. Point mutations are changes in a single base pair and can occur in any cell. Frameshift mutations, which shift the reading frame of the genetic code, can also occur in any cell.

Answer:

B. germline mutation
