How do germ-line mutations differ from somatic mutations? Germ-line mutations are reversible, while somatic mutations are not. Germ-line mutations result in mutant gametes, while somatic mutations do not. Germ-line mutations occur during DNA replication, while somatic mutations do not. Germ-line mutations result in cancers, while somatic mutations do not. Germ-line mutations involve small changes to DNA such as base-pair substitutions, while somatic mutations involve large deletions.
