There is no such thing. I'm certain you picked that up from Full Metal Alchemist. Well the idea of the Philosopher's Stone is turning inexpensive metals such as lead into gold. This is transmutation in Alchemy.
In Biology, transmutation of species: is the alteration of another species into another. I think this is the most accurate answer for your question.
(Minor Spoiler Alert!)
If this in reference to Fullmetal Alchemist, which I'm 100% sure it is, Human Transmutation is a form of Alchemy, the science of deconstructing and reconstructing matter. Human Transmutation is taking the basic chemical makeup of the human body ( Water: 35 Liters. Carbon: 20 Kg. Ammonia: 4 Liters. Lime: 1.5 Kg. Phosphorus: 800 g. Salt: 250 g. Saltpeter: 100 g. Sulfur: 80 g. Fluorine: 7.5 g. Iron: 5g. Silicon: 3 g. And 15 other trace elements ) and trying to reconstruct a human being. However, to perform alchemy, something of equal value to the thing you are trying to create must be given up. This is why Human Transmutation is strictly prohibited. There is no physical equivalent you can give to gain a human soul. In other words, souls are priceless. That's why you cannot bring something back to life after it's gone.
However, people believe if you can gain a Philosopher's Stone, you can bend the rules of alchemy and bring back the dead. ( this is only an illusion, the power allows someone to perform feats greater than what one can do naturally, and it ranges from bringing back the dead to repairing small objects ) Also, there is a catch to creating a Philosopher's Stone. It takes thousands or millions of souls to create just one stone.
Absolutely, mutation can occur in any cell, human or non-human. Mutation has a number of causes, but radiation is probably the most significant. If the DNA is struck by radiation (even solar radiation, which is to say, sunlight) it will be altered, hence there is a mutation.
The significance of the mutation of living things is that mutation allows species to adapt to their environments over time (variations in human skin color are a good example of this). It is also a major part of Darwin's all but proven Theory of Evolution.
A mutation usually is associated with the change in DNA pattern. Depending on the mutation (which can occur for various reasons such as radioactivity or birth defect), it might be deadly or harmless.
It may result in the production of a defective protein
mutations
Human Mutation was established in 1992 as a scientific journal focusing on research related to mutations in humans.
p53 gene..approximately 50% of human cancers involve this mutation.
If you are referring to a mutation in individual cells of the skin, then no.
Of Course.Type your answer here...

A mutation in a human skin cannot be passed on to an offspring, since it is only a somatic mutation which is acquired. The mutation that can be passed on to an offspring is called a germline mutation, which happens in the egg and sperm.
For a mutation to be passed onto the next generation it must be on sex chromosome. If mutation occurs in somatic cells of our body, it will not be passed on to the offspring(s). Mutation that changes one or few base pairs in the DNA is called point mutation.
Yes
Blood Cancer Starts in a body due to a mutation in the RBC's of the human
No. Although there is a chance of a beneficial mutation, the chance of it occurring is almost astronomical. Most mutations are harmful to humans.
No. It would be a mutation and would die. Impossible.
An example of a favorable mutation is the development of lactase persistence in some human populations, which allows individuals to digest lactose into adulthood. This mutation provides a selective advantage in societies where dairy consumption is common.
