Mutations that occur at a single point in the DNA sequence are Point Mutations.
RNA polymerase doesn't have a proofreading function.

Mutations (point mutations, inversions, translocations...) cause changes in DNA Simply stated, a mistake made while DNA copies causes changes in DNA.
DNA mutations can pass from parents to off spring only if the mutation occurs in the sex cells (eggs and sperm).

Successful mutations will persist. Mutations usually occur during replication. Some mutations will flourish depending on environmental factors.
RNA polymerase doesn't have a proofreading function.
Yes. Mutations occur in all forms of DNA.
