The mutation in a sex cell of an adult chimpanzee that affects a gene responsible for eye development could lead to offspring with altered vision or eye structure. If this mutation is passed on and expressed in the next generation, it may result in phenotypic changes such as impaired vision or even completely different eye characteristics. However, if the mutation is recessive or does not affect the organism's survival and reproduction, its impact may be minimal or not observed in future generations.

The point mutation may lead to a change in the protein coded by the gene, potentially affecting eye development in the offspring of the chimpanzee. Depending on the specific nature of the mutation, it could result in a range of eye-related conditions, from minor changes to more significant developmental abnormalities.

Achondroplasia, is the mutation in the FGFR3 gene that is responsible for turning cartilage into bone. It is noticed through child development due to shortness for their age and other skeletal problems throughout life
