If a mutation happens, it will be helpful, harmful or neutral. Whether they are passed on to offspring depends on several things.
- Obviously, whether the organism gets a chance to reproduce.
- Whether the organism manages to survive long enough to reproduce, which it is unlikely to do if the mutation is harmful.
- Whether the gametes which are successful in the process of fertilization happen to contain that gene.

What happens if a person with mutation reproduce?
If a person with a mutation reproduces, there is a chance that the mutation may be inherited by their offspring. Whether the mutation will be passed on and expressed in future generations depends on the type of mutation and its mode of inheritance. Some mutations are harmful, while others can be neutral or even beneficial.
What cell mutation can be inherited?
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.
A mutation that occurs in a diploid cell can be inherited only if?
Mutation occurs in a cell that produces gemetes
What DNA mutations are directly linked to inherited diseases?
Some common DNA mutations directly linked to inherited diseases include the CFTR gene mutation in cystic fibrosis, the BRCA gene mutations in breast and ovarian cancers, and the HTT gene mutation in Huntington's disease. These mutations can be inherited from one or both parents and increase the likelihood of developing the associated disease.
What are the parts of a chromosome that control inherited traits?
The parts of a chromosome that control inherited traits is referred to as genes. There are many types of inherited traits, some visible while the others are invisible,
How are mutations are inherited?
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.
Name 2 major types of mutation?

What cell mutation can be inherited?
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.
Can mutation heritable?
Mutations are able to be inherited if they occur in your mother or father's sex cells. This is known as a germline mutation.
Is Stickler Syndrome a dominant gene or a recessive gene?
Most commonly is caused by a mutation in one of three types of collagen genes - COL2A1, COL11A1, COL11A2 and is a dominantly inherited disease. A recessive type has also beed described with a mutation in the COL9A1 gene.
A mutation that occurs in a diploid cell can be inherited only if?
Mutation occurs in a cell that produces gemetes
What can gene mutations be caused by?
A gene mutation can be caused by radiation. A gene mutation can also be inherited from family members, such as grandparents and parents.
A mutation that can be inherited by offspring would result from?
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.
Any inherited characteristic that decreases the effect of a pesticide on a pest is known as?

nonsense mutation, missense mutation, frameshift muation, deletion or addition mutation
