Answer:
O A only if the mutation occurs in the sex cells
Step-by-step explanation:
Mutations can be defined as genetic changes that occur in the DNA sequence of the genome of an organism. Mutations can be classified into two main types: 1-somatic mutations, which occur in somatic cells that form the body of the organism, and 2-germ-line mutations, which occur in sex cells or gametes (i.e., egg and sperm cells). Only germ-line mutations can be passed on to offspring and it occurs when a mutated gamete (either a sperm or an egg) comes together to form a diploid (2n) zygote.
