Since only gamete cells actually participate in the creation of a new organism, it is only the mutations in gamete cells which are inheritable; mutations in somatic cells are not inheritable.
mutations in the reproductive cells of the body can be carried on to the next generation but mutations in the body cells won't alter the genes.
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.
sex cells, because it can pass the genetic trait from one generation to the next

It depends on the age of the person. There are more mutations and defects in eggs as the woman ages. However, as men are constantly producing more sperm cells they will inevitably produce more cells that have mutations. The percentage of sperms cells that have mutations will increase as the man ages.
Mutations can be a source of genetic
The type of cells that contain 23 single chromosomes are sex cells. The females would carry ova in the ovaries and the males will carry sperm in the testicles.

Gametic mutations occur in the cells of the gonads (which produce sperm and eggs) and may be inherited. There are two types of mutations that can occur in gamete cells: 1. Gene Mutations 2. Chromosomal Mutations
