Mutations can give an organism diseases and all kinds of malfunctions of their organs. It can affects their life span and how they live about. Some mutations can be awful like that, but other times it can be very helpful and actually help an organism have a better life.
A mutation does not affect an organism trait for a reason. It is neutral which depends on the environment.
Chromosomal mutation
A point mutation is a mutation that can affect the gametes of an organism. This type of mutation involves a change in a single nucleotide in the DNA sequence, which can result in altered genetic information being passed on to offspring.
A genetic mutation is a change in an organism's DNA sequence that can be passed on to its offspring and affect their traits or characteristics. Mutations can occur spontaneously during DNA replication, or they can be triggered by external factors like radiation or chemicals.
A mutation in a sex cell means that the mutation can be passed on to the individuals offspring. If the mutation just occurred in a somatic cell, it would not be passed down.
It can have absolutely no affect, a bad affect, or even a good affect.*Deletion and Addition are frameshift: most harmful.
A silent mutation is an example of a mutation that would not affect an organism's phenotype. This type of mutation occurs in a non-coding region of DNA, such as an intron, and does not change the amino acid sequence of the protein produced. Therefore, it has no impact on the organism's outward appearance or characteristics.
The gene will code for a different protein than it should.

Mutations during meiosis can lead to genetic variability in offspring. Depending on the type and location of the mutation, it can result in genetic disorders, altered traits, or have no noticeable effect.
