If this DNA has a mutation, the child that grows from the fertilized egg will have the mutation in each of his or her cells. Acquired (or somatic) mutations occur at some time during a personâs life and are present only in certain cells, not in every cell in the body.
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 â¦ will be inherited by their offspring. mutation is simply an accidental change in your genes or DNA sequence. The types of mutations in biology are: substitution, insertion, deletion, and frame-shift.
