What is Sociology? Sociology is the study of human social relationships and institutions. Sociologyâs subject matter is diverse, ranging from crime to religion, from the family to the state, from the divisions of race and social class to the shared beliefs of a common culture, and from social stability to radical change in whole societies.
What difference does it make if a mutation occurs in a somatic cell or in a gamete?   If the mutation occurs in a somatic cell and the cell is still able to reproduce, the mutation continues in the daughter cells in following generations. If a mutation ocâ¦curs in a gamete, the original organism remains unchanged.
1 Mutations can occur during DNA replication if errors are made and not corrected in time. 2  Mutations can also occur as the result of exposure to environmental factors such as smoking, sunlight and radiation. 3  Often cells can recognise any potentially mutation-causing damage and repair it before it becomes a fixed mutation.
