Answer 1

are you sure

Answer 2

having a mutation on a non-gamete cell

Answer 3

Yes, having a mutation on a non-gamete cell can potentially increase the possibility of mutations in your offspring. While mutations in non-gamete cells, such as somatic cells, are not inherited directly, they can sometimes affect the DNA in gamete cells produced later on. These mutations in gametes can then be passed on to the next generation, increasing the possibility of inherited mutations in offspring.
