Hey there,
Mistakes/mutations in replication would lead to alterations in the nucleotide sequence in the DNA, and these alterations would be passed on to daughter cells when the cell divide.

Hope this helps :))

Somatic mutations are often passed down to offspring.

Hope this is what you're looking for. Have a great day! :D
