Whether a mutation is life-threatening often depends on factors such as where the mutation occurs, its effects on important genes, and whether it leads to uncontrolled cell growth or other harmful consequences.
yes, true.
Not necessarily. Some produce cancers but many are noncancerous.
Not all mutations are passed on to future offspring because mutations occur randomly and may not affect an individual's reproductive cells. Additionally, some mutations may be harmful to the organism, reducing its chances of survival and reproduction. Finally, mutations that do occur in reproductive cells may not be passed on if the individual does not reproduce or if the mutation is not present in the germ line cells.
Cells with mutations may not always produce normal proteins. Mutations can alter the DNA sequence, which may result in changes to the structure or function of the protein produced. These changes can lead to abnormal protein function, which can impact cellular processes and potentially contribute to disease.
Yes, somatic mutations can occur in sex chromosomes. These mutations can affect the genes located on the X or Y chromosome, leading to genetic changes in somatic cells, which are not passed on to offspring. Somatic mutations on sex chromosomes can impact an individual's health and development.

Gamete cells mutations can be inheritable because they are passed on to offspring. Somatic cell mutations are not typically inheritable as they occur in non-reproductive cells.
Mutations in sex cells can be passed on to children. Mutations in sex cells only affect offspring. Mutations in sex cells do not affect the organism.

The DNA of cells in the same organism will be the same if no mutations occur. The only diffferences from your hair cells to your muscle cells is the structure of the cell. The structure of a cell gives the cell it's function.
They happen after the organism has been born, and often lead to tumours and cancer (caused by carcinogens). Other types of mutations can be caused by mutagens, which mutate the DNA of a cell. It doesn't affect the DNA of every cell in the organism/ reproductive cells, so isn't passed on to offspring

Mutagenic agents are substances that can cause changes in an organism's DNA, leading to mutations. These mutations can affect the way cells grow and replicate, potentially causing harmful effects such as cancer or genetic disorders.
mutations of genes in an organism's sex cells & new combinations of existing genes during sexual reproduction.
No, mutations that occur in skin cells are not passed on to organism offspring because they are not present in the germ cells (sperm or egg cells) that are involved in reproduction. Only mutations in the germ cells can be passed on to offspring.
