Depends on how likely the mutation is to occur (how dominate) and on the genetics of the other parent. If the offspring is a clone, the mutation will be passed from parent to clone.
A mutation in a DNA molecule is passed to offspring only when the mutation occurs in a germ cell, such as an egg or sperm cell. Mutations in other types of cells, like skin cells, do not get passed on to offspring.
the gametes of the organism. Gametes, such as sperm and egg cells, contribute genetic material to the offspring during fertilization. Mutations that occur in gametes have the potential to be passed on to the next generation.
It only affects the offspring of the organism.
Mutations which do not occur in sex cells are not passed on to the next generation. The mutation will only affect the individual. They could therefore have normal offspring.
A point mutation is a mutation that can affect the gametes of an organism. This type of mutation involves a change in a single nucleotide in the DNA sequence, which can result in altered genetic information being passed on to offspring.
Germline mutations are changes that occur in the DNA of an organism's gametes (sperm or egg cells) and can be passed on to their offspring. These mutations are present in every cell of the resulting offspring's body.
A mutation in a DNA molecule is passed to offspring only when the mutation occurs in a germ cell, such as an egg or sperm cell. Mutations in other types of cells, like skin cells, do not get passed on to offspring.
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.
There offspring with mutations
A mutation in a sex cell means that the mutation can be passed on to the individuals offspring. If the mutation just occurred in a somatic cell, it would not be passed down.

A genetic mutation is a change in an organism's DNA sequence that can be passed on to its offspring and affect their traits or characteristics. Mutations can occur spontaneously during DNA replication, or they can be triggered by external factors like radiation or chemicals.
Not with natural reproduction. If you cloned the parent that had the somatic mutation, you could pass it on to the offspring if you used the nucleus from the cell that had the somatic mutation.
