Mutation only be inherited;
Explanation:
Only mutations on gametes can be inherited or transferred to offspring. Mutations on somatic cells can not.
A mutation on gametes can occur during gametes production in the ovaries or testes. If the gamete bearing the mutation is involved in fertilization, then the offspring will bear the mutation and it might probably show in the phenotype if it's not a silent/ missense mutation. This mutation can occur during crossing over in meiosis I where errors may occur in the Holiday junction double-strand breaks repair process.
