No, they occur in the organism's body cells and cannot be inherited by the offspring .
true
Sex-linked mutations and gene mutations are alike in that both involve changes to the DNA sequence that can affect an organism's traits or functions. However, they differ in their location and inheritance patterns: sex-linked mutations occur on the sex chromosomes (X or Y), typically affecting traits associated with gender, while gene mutations can occur on any chromosome and affect a wide range of traits regardless of sex. Additionally, sex-linked mutations are often passed down differently in males and females due to their association with sex chromosomes.
44 autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes are present in human somatic cells .
Autosomes are the somatic chromosomes which control the body characters or somatic characters, Whereas Sex chromosomes are the allosomes which determines sex of an individual
No, somatic (non-sex) cells have twice the number of chromosomes that sex cells have.
true
Yes, somatic cells contain sex chromosomes. In humans, somatic cells typically contain 23 pairs of chromosomes, including one pair of sex chromosomes (XX in females and XY in males).

a germline mutation is one the was passed on to offspring because the egg or sperm cell was mutated. a somatic mutation is a mutation of the somatic cells (all cells except sex cells) that cannot be passed on to offspring.
Nothing in somatic cells is inheritable unless it shows up in the gametes as well. As such, if a somatic cell experiences a mutation, it can only affect that cell and any cell it creates.
homologous chromosomes and autosomal chromosomes
Autosomes are the somatic chromosomes which control the body characters or somatic characters, Whereas Sex chromosomes are the allosomes which determines sex of an individual
No, somatic (non-sex) cells have twice the number of chromosomes that sex cells have.
Yes; it is not a sex cell and it has 2n=46 chromosomes, whereas sex cells have n=23 chromosomes.
That depends on the organism you're looking at. In humans, there are 46 chromosomes per normal somatic cell. 46 chromosomes = 22 homolog pairs + 2 sex chromosomes (XX in women or XY in men)
Dogs have 39 pairs of chromosomes in their somatic cells. Sex cells (sperm and eggs) are haploid, meaning they contain half the number of chromosomes as somatic cells. Therefore, the sex cells of a dog have 39 chromosomes.
