The curious thing about any type of genetic mutation is that it can change anything in any place on the affected chromosome. Most genetic mutations have no affect on the phenotype. In some extreme cases though (i.e. LOTS of radiation) offspring are known to have extensive genetic mutation.

When was Human Mutation created?

What can predict whether a mutation in a human skin cell can be passed to its offspring?
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.
Mutation rates can be affected by?
chance. environmental factors. human intervention.
What is an inversion mutation?
An inversion in meteorology is when atmospheric pressure causes an abnormal condition. An example would be that the pressure causes warmer air to sink closer to earth's surface and cooler air to rise higher. When this inversion happens, one of the effects is that pollution and smog stay trapped within our atmosphere.
What is the term for any permanent change in a gene of chromosome?

What is the effects of mutation?

What are some general effects of a mutation?
Some general effects of a mutation are changes in DNA/RNA sequences and plausibly alteration of the product of a gene or the prevention of a gene from functioning properly.
What is the most common mutation to genes?

Will a mutation in a human skin cell pass on to the persons offspring?
If you are referring to a mutation in individual cells of the skin, then no.
What is the difference between symptoms and effects?
