Answer:

no but only mutations that matter to large-scale evolution are those that can be passed on to offspring.

Step-by-step explanation:

any mutation outside of the germline cells can not passed down to an organism's offspring. However, somatic mutations are passed down to the all the progeny of a mutated cell within the same organism.
