Mutation occurs in a cell that produces gemetes
Mutations in the germ cells (sperm or egg cells) can be inherited. These mutations can be passed down from parents to their offspring through their genetic material.
yes, there is a pair of chromosome in diploid cell.
A mutation that can be passed to offspring only if it occurs in a germ cell (sperm or egg) is called a germline mutation. Unlike somatic mutations, which occur in non-reproductive cells and cannot be inherited, germline mutations are incorporated into the DNA of the offspring during fertilization. These mutations can lead to inherited genetic disorders or variations in traits in the next generation.
A mutation taking place in brain cell can't be passed on to next generation but it may cause a tumor .

If a mutation occurs in a sex cell, then it may be inherited. Any mutation to the somatic cells will not be passed on. Any mutations that either of the parent organisms have will be inherited by their offspring.
Mutations can be inherited. This means that if a parent has a mutation in his or her DNA, then the mutation is passed on to his or her children.Mutations can be acquired. This happens when environmental agents damage DNA, or when mistakes occur when a cell copies its DNA prior to cell division.
If the mutation occurs in a somatic cell and the cell is still able to reproduce, the mutation continues in the daughter cells in following generations. If a mutation occurs in a gamete, the original organism remains unchanged. If that gamete is used for reproduction, then the mutation will continue in the offspring.

yes, there is a pair of chromosome in diploid cell.
yes because it is genetic therefore can be passed on

A mutation.
A body cell that has 46 chromosomes and is said to be 2n, it is a diploid cell.
A mutation taking place in brain cell can't be passed on to next generation but it may cause a tumor .
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.
