A mutation in a sex cell, such as a sperm or egg cell, can be passed on to offspring and affect future generations. In contrast, a mutation in a non-sex cell will only affect the individual and is not passed on to offspring.
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.
A mutation in a sex cell may be passed on to an offspring. A mutation in a somatic (body) cell cannot be passed on to an offspring, but can potentially cause cancer in the person who has the mutation.

A mutation in a sex cell can be passed on to offspring and affect future generations, while a mutation in a non-sex cell generally only impacts the individual in which it occurs. Additionally, mutations in sex cells can lead to hereditary conditions, while mutations in non-sex cells are typically not passed on to offspring.
yes, actually. when a sex cell is damaged, the mutations can be passed from generation to generation
Mutations in sex cells can be passed on to children. Mutations in sex cells only affect offspring. Mutations in sex cells do not affect the organism.
