yes, only heritable changes in the DNA come under the perview of mutation.

Why aren't all mutations bad?
Mutations are unnatural changes in the body or behavior. They are not always bad. For instance, the skin of the poison tree frog is not really bad at all. It rubs itself on poison leaves and mutated itself not to be affected.
Is behavior shaped through natural selection?
Those behaviours that are influenced by heritable factors are subject to natural selection. For most animals, all behaviour is, to some degree, the result of or at least affected by heritable factors.
What is the original source of all variations in heritable traits?
Mutation
Does cancer result from genetic mutations-?
Mutating Cells can be a source of Cancer, but not necessarily. All mutating cells do not cause Cancer.
Are all mutation harmful?
Mutations that succeed [are beneficial] provide Evolution, so not at all.
Can mutations cause changes in DNA sequences?
mutations
Can you get Pokemon mutations such as mewtrance in soulsilver with an action replay code?
Pokemon mutations are not part of the game at all. Pokemon mutations are a result of hacking by an action replay.

Why all mutation are not necessarily harmful?
Mutations are changes in DNA. Most are neutral or beneficial. Mutations have allowed animals to adapt to new environments and new species to evolve.
Are all mutations bad.?
No not all mutations are bad there are good mutations and bad mutations

De Vries believed the process of evolution was driven by what?
Mutations. He was the father of saltation. The big jump idea that organisms could make large morphological changes by beneficial mutations all at once.
What is the original source of all variations in heritable traits?
Mutation
Are all mutations generic?
Yes. All mutations of the genetic material are genetic.
Does cancer result from genetic mutations-?
Mutating Cells can be a source of Cancer, but not necessarily. All mutating cells do not cause Cancer.
Do all mutations in DNA coding for mrna cause a change in an organism?
No. Some mutations can be silent, meaning that they have different codes yet it produces the same protein. If it is a mutation for the start of a mRNA sequence, then the polypeptide will just be discarded if there is no AUG.
If you removed all of the bases from DNA would it still encode heritable information?
no
