Yes. this is possible but depend on the change in the gene which can inherited the character or change which acquired temporarily. for e.g. if we take a vaccine of poleo it doesn't make any change in our offspring cause it is acquired but if we make change in our DNA sequence by the vector which is not temporary will seen in offspring with a need dependent improvement.
A mutation may certainly be passed down to a human offspring. This is because the mutation was not life-threatening and the offspring's parents were able to reproduce.

Most of the genetic information that is passed form a parent to its offspring is found in DNA molecules.
DNA (short for deoxyribonucleic acid) is the molecule that contains these insructions.
The blueprint for life is passed from parent to offspring through sexual reproduction and the transfer of genes. The genes ensure that the offspring develop traits that closely resemble those of the parents.
Genes.
Somatic mutations occur in somatic body cells. These mutations are passed on to daughter cells during mitosis and to the offspring of those cells in turn, but are not passed on to sexually produced offspring.
DNA mutations can pass from parents to off spring only if the mutation occurs in the sex cells (eggs and sperm).

No, not all mutations are passed on to children. Mutations can occur in the DNA of reproductive cells (eggs and sperm) and if they are present in those cells, they can be passed on to the next generation. However, most mutations occur in non-reproductive cells and are not passed on to offspring.
Traits are passed by DNA.

Genetic mutations help an organism adapt to the environment they live in. So hypothetically yes, but some mutations can create infertile off-springs which in-turn stops the mutation from being passed down. It depends mostly on the change in the DNA and weather or not the organism will continue to pass on the trait.
