Answer:

Somatic cells helps in healing and repairing damaged cells

Explanation:

Somatic cell division plays an important role in division of body cells. They help in healing and repairing the damaged cells. cell division is of two types, Mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis replicates and results in two identical daughter nuclei (genetically identical). Apart from these, they also act as adult stem cells which plays a major role in healing the damaged cells or repair the damaged cells. somatic cells are found all over your body except the germ cells.

Benefits of cell division in somatic cells:

If you get hurt and eventually your blood will stop oozing out and get healed by the mitotic cell division found in the somatic regions of your body.
Animals like lizards when get hurt, they get their cells automatically repaired by their somatic cells.

These are few important benefits other than the identical copies that are obtained by cell division.

Genetic mutations pass to offspring in gametes because gametes A) are not germ cells. B) make up all internal organs. C) do not

Anni [7]

Because gametes (sex cells) are the only cells that pass along genetic information. Somatic cells are the cells that have already differentiated into various organs or tissues. They can't pass on a mutation to offspring because they're not involved in creating it.

The answer is D. They fuse during sexual reproduction
