There are 2 major types of gene mutations, inherited and acquired: 1  An inherited gene mutation is present in the egg or sperm that formed the child. 2  After the egg is fertilized by the sperm, it created one cell called a zygote that then divided to create a fetus (which became a baby).his is more likely if the mutation affects a gene involved with cell division or a gene that normally causes a defective cell to die.
