Question 7 • 26-27 Biology A

Which type of mutation occurs only in gametes?

Answer
A
germline mutation
B
somatic mutation
C
point mutation
D
frameshift mutation

A germline mutation occurs in reproductive cells, or gametes, and can be passed to offspring. Somatic mutations occur in body cells rather than gametes; point and frameshift describe kinds of DNA changes, not whether they occur in gametes.
