[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Some mutations that can affect offspring are those that occur during meiosis and those that occur in the parent's germ cells. These mutations can be passed on to the offspring through the inheritance of the parent's genetic material. Mutations that happen during mitosis or in body cells may not be passed on to offspring unless they occur in the germ cells that give rise to gametes.
