Meiosis occurs in reproductive cells while mitosis occurs in somatic. What is the meaning of the word "somatic"?
The word 'soma' comes from Greek word, meaning 'body'.
Somatic cells form the body of a multicellular organism, but gametes (egg/sperm) are not produced by such cells.
Meiosis takes place within a small number of reproductive cells/germ cells which give rise to gametes.
Hence somatic cells are not involved in inheritance.
