i need help lol
Only those mutations which can be transferred from one generation to another contribute to evolution. Germinal mutations are mutations which occur in germ cells and germ cells are the one which gets transferred from one generation to another.
somatic mutations do not affect germ tissue (eg, sperm and eggs) and so are not propogated via sexual reproduction, so they don't affect evolutionary change. germinal mutations, however, are directly expressed and passed down via sexual reproduction, and are a major evolutionary mechanism.
