In prokaryotes cell transformation is an alteration of the cell from the uptake, genomic incorporation, and expression of foreign genetic material.
In eukaryotes this is called transfection. Transformation in eukaryotes is reserved to describe an alteration of the cell that results in a tumor cell phenotype.
A mutation in a sex cell may be passed on to an offspring. A mutation in a somatic (body) cell cannot be passed on to an offspring, but can potentially cause cancer in the person who has the mutation.
Generally, mutation.
A cell that undergoes mitosis, such as a bacteria cell, splits to create an identical cell (daughter cell) that has identical DNA. So, when a cells split to multiply and grow, there DNA is the same, unless a mutation occurs.
From another angle: beneficial and detrimental.
Without mutation there can be no evolution. Without evolution there can be no speciation.

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 mutation in a sex cell, such as a sperm or egg cell, can be passed on to offspring and affect future generations. In contrast, a mutation in a non-sex cell will only affect the individual and is not passed on to offspring.
A mutation in a sex cell may be passed on to an offspring. A mutation in a somatic (body) cell cannot be passed on to an offspring, but can potentially cause cancer in the person who has the mutation.

Deviation can destroy cell, causing death/mutation.
Cancer- certain mutations (changes) in a cell's genetic material may cause that cell to reproduce with out control.
An example of point-mutation is sickle-cell anemia. Sickle-cell disease is hereditary.
A mutation in a sperm or egg cell means that the mutation while most likely be passed down to the offspring of that organism. If the mutation is in anything but a gamete, it will not be passed down.
