A hereditary mutation is a change in the DNA sequence that is passed from parents to their offspring through reproductive cells (sperm and eggs). These mutations can be inherited in various patterns, such as autosomal dominant or recessive, and can affect traits or predispose individuals to certain diseases. Unlike somatic mutations, which occur in non-reproductive cells and are not passed on, hereditary mutations can be present in every cell of an individual and may influence their health and development throughout their life.
An acquired mutation, also known as a somatic mutation, occurs in an individual's cells during their lifetime and is not passed to offspring. These mutations can result from environmental factors, such as radiation or chemicals, or errors during cell division. In contrast, a hereditary mutation is present in the germline cells and can be inherited from a parent, affecting all cells of the offspring. This type of mutation can be passed down through generations and is often associated with genetic disorders.
A permanent heritable change in an allele that produces a different variant of the same trait is called a mutation. Mutations can lead to genetic diversity within a population and are the raw material for evolution.
Gene mutation is the change in the DNA sequence that is permanent and leads to new genetic traits and even diseases. This type of mutation is triggered through hereditary process or through several factors in the environment.
Fructose intolerance is an inherited disorder passed on to children through their parents' genes. Both the mother and father have the gene that causes the condition, but may not have symptoms of fructose intolerance themselves.
A mutation in a sex cell (germ cell) can be passed on to offspring, potentially affecting future generations, while a mutation in a non-sex cell (somatic cell) typically only affects the individual organism and is not inherited. Germ cell mutations can lead to hereditary diseases or traits if they occur in the DNA that contributes to the formation of gametes. In contrast, somatic mutations may lead to issues like cancer but do not affect the genetic material that is inherited by the next generation.

hereditary instructions
It is called a mutation.
A change in the hereditary instructions of an organism is called a mutation. Mutations can occur randomly or be induced by factors such as UV radiation or chemicals, leading to variations in the organism's traits.
An example of point-mutation is sickle-cell anemia. Sickle-cell disease is hereditary.
that would be a hereditary thing not a gene mutaion
An example of point-mutation is sickle-cell anemia. Sickle-cell disease is hereditary.
hereditary or a mutation due to a mothers use of drugs and or alcohol.

only the hereditary character can be transmitted and it is found in nucleus not in cytoplasm so the cytoplasmic mutation can not be transmitted from parents to their child. hope u get the answer
