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 there is an error in DNA replication, there will be a mutation on the gene. An organism can only have up to 3 mutations, or it cannot live. So if there is an error in the râ¦eplication, you will have a mutation. Sometimes it is nothing at all.
