Gene mutations are of 2 types inherited or
acquired

• An inherited gene mutation is present in the egg
  or sperm cell that helps in forming the child.
  Fertilized egg creates a cell that divides many
  times and becomes a baby. Since all the cells
  come from this first cell, and the same passes on
  to the next generation
• An acquired (somatic) mutation starts in one cell
  and passes on to any new cells that are created
  from that cell. It does not come from a parent.
  This kind of mutation is not present  in the
  cells of egg or sperm, so it does not pass on to
  the next generation
