    Answer: No, it will not be passed down to offspring.

    Explanation: Mutations will only passed to offspring when they occurred in germ cell DNA (the cells that create sperm or ova).

    The body cells can't connect to a few areas of the reproductive system, meaning that if a mutation occurred on a body cell, it won't pass down to offspring.
