Gametes, also known as sex cells or reproductive cells. In animals, these are the sperm and ova, in plants the pollen and ovules. In asexual reproduction, known as agamogenesis, reproduction is generally by mitosis, or division.

What type of cells allows mutations to be passed onto offspring?

Germ cells (sperm and egg cells) allow mutations to be passed onto offspring. These cells undergo meiosis to produce gametes containing genetic material that can be inherited by the next generation. Mutations occurring in germ cells can therefore be transmitted to offspring.
