Somatic cells are cells of the body.... as opposed to sex cells.

 

The cells of the body are the ones that generally undergo a mutation of some

Cancer is not inherited, but if there is a history of cancer in the family the

risk of getting it is increased. That is why check-ups are recommended often.
