Ultraviolet radiation can cause mutations in the DNA of skin cells that have been overexposed to the sun. This mutated DNA has no effect on future offspring because

Mutations can be inherited only if they affect which type of cells? somatic germline any body cell any cell in the reproductive system

A mutation occurring in a human can be passed from parent to offspring when it occurs in a (1) lung cell, due to exposure to a toxic gas (2) gamete formed in the ovary (3) body cell undergoing mitosis (4) heart cell with chromosome damage
