If a mutation happens, it will be helpful, harmful or neutral. Whether they are passed on to offspring depends on several things.
- Obviously, whether the organism gets a chance to reproduce.
- Whether the organism manages to survive long enough to reproduce, which it is unlikely to do if the mutation is harmful.
- Whether the gametes which are successful in the process of fertilization happen to contain that gene.
