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.
What occurs in meiosis but not mitosis? Mitosis and meiosis are specialized types of cell division, but take place in different locations. Mitosis occurs only in body cells, or somatic cells, while meiosis takes place in the cells of the testes and ovaries, which are the primary reproductive organs. Mitosis is triggered by the coupling of haploid sperm with a haploid egg; this coupling leads to fertilization.
