Answer :

Mutations must occur in cells that produce the next generation and affect the hereditary material in order to affect an organism's descendants.

Mutations can have an effect on an organism by altering its physical characteristics (or phenotype) or by altering the way DNA codes genetic information (genotype). When mutations occur, they can either terminate (kill) an organism or be partially lethal. Mutations can occur as a result of errors in DNA replication during cell division, mutagen exposure, or viral infection. Germline mutation(those that occur in eggs and sperm) can be passed down to offspring, whereas somatic mutations (those that occur in body cells) cannot.
