Mutations that occur during the formation of sex cells may affect an organism's offspring.
im gay but thats okay
A mutation in a sex cell can be passed on to your offspring and to their offspring as well. Therefore, its effect is greater than that of a somatic mutation.
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 is an alteration in the DNA of the cell. Because the mutation is not "part" of the original DNA of your body, it cannot be passed onto your offspring
It is all dependent on where the mutation takes place. If, for example, there is a mutation in one of your skin cells, this will not be passed on to the offspring. This is because in order to pass it on to the offspring the mutation has to be present in the offspring itself. Since the offspring is created from the egg and sperm of the parents, the skin cell has nothing to do with the offspring. But if there was a mutation in the egg or the sperm, there would be some sort of mutation found in the offpspring.

A somatic mutation is one that occurs in any body cell with the exception of the gametes (sperm and eggs). A somatic mutation cannot be passed on to offspring, so it affects only the person with the mutation.
It only affects the offspring of the organism.
The offspring of the organism will have a mutation.
If a mutation occurs in a sex cell, then it may be inherited. Any mutation to the somatic cells will not be passed on. Any mutations that either of the parent organisms have will be inherited by their offspring.
A mutation that affects the gametes of an organism is called
A mutation in a human skin cannot be passed on to an offspring, since it is only a somatic mutation which is acquired. The mutation that can be passed on to an offspring is called a germline mutation, which happens in the egg and sperm.
A mutation in a sex cell can be passed on to an offspring. A mutation in a non-sex cell cannot be passed on to an offspring.
I'd have to say the organisms are evolved. Or possibly have mutated, but since it was a good mutation (like developing poison or something that will help you) when it had off spring the offspring also had that mutation and so on and so forth.
Not usually. Only In certain circumstances, can a mutation be passed on to offspring; such as Downs-syndrome.
A mutation can be passed on if it occurs in a sex cell. This is because offspring have a copy of the parent's genetic code, so any mutation that is present here will also be present in the offspring.
The zebra will have offspring who cannot produce blood proteins.
