Question

mutations within an organism can occur in body cells or reproductive cells. which type of mutation is seen in a sperm cell but not in a skin cell?
○ somatic mutation
○ missense mutation
○ nonsense mutation
○ germline mutation

Explanation:

Somatic mutations occur in body cells like skin cells and are not passed to offspring. Missense and nonsense mutations are types of coding mutations that can happen in both body and reproductive cells. Germline mutations specifically occur in reproductive cells (like sperm) and can be inherited, while they do not occur in non-reproductive body cells such as skin cells.

Answer:

germline mutation
