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.
Chromosome abnormalities usually occur when there is an error in cell division. There are two kinds of cell division, mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis results in two cells that are duplicates of the original cell. One cell with 46 chromosomes divides and becomes two cells with 46 chromosomes each. This kind of cell division occurs throughout the body, except in the reproductive organs. This is the way most of the cells that make up our body are made and replaced.
