The mutation may be passed on to an offspring. Depending on the mutation, it may have no effect, or it could be lethal.

A chromosomal mutation during meiosis can result in genetic variability in offspring due to the formation of gametes with altered chromosomes. In contrast, a similar mutation during mitosis of a body cell not involved in reproduction can lead to a mosaic pattern of affected and unaffected cells in the individual's body. This can result in a localized impact on tissues or organs depending on the extent of mosaicism.
A chromosomal mutation can occur either during the formation of the egg or sperm, or after fertilization when the zygote is forming. This means the mutation could have occurred in the parent's gametes, or during cell division in the early stages of embryo development.
Mutations during meiosis can lead to genetic variability in offspring. Depending on the type and location of the mutation, it can result in genetic disorders, altered traits, or have no noticeable effect.

A mutation that can be inherited by offspring would result from a change in the DNA sequence of a germ cell (sperm or egg) in the parent. This mutation would be present in the offspring's DNA and can be passed down to future generations.

The offspring of the organism will have the mutation. -Apex
