A mutation caused a phenotypic change in an organisms offspring. The mutation most likely occurred in germ cell from the parent.

what is germ cell mutation?

Based on the type of cell, mutation can be up two types  such as somatic and germline mutation.

Germline mutation occurs in the germ cells, lead to pass the  genetic material to future generations.

The cells produce gametes called as germ cell,  specifically spermatogonia in males and oogonia in females.

These mutations are hereditary in nature, most of the germ line mutation are silent means that do not show any effect in parent organism.

It can also leads to healthy genetic diversity in the population, and show negative impacts lead to rare disease called cancer.

Sickle cell anemia is the best example for germline mutation, where a sickle-shaped red blood cells produced by the bone marrow due to mutation in gene coding for hemoglobin.
