Mutations that occur **during meiosis** can affect offspring.
Meiosis is the process of cell division that produces gametes (sperm and egg cells), and any mutations that occur during this process can be passed on to the next generation. In contrast, mutations in body cells or that occur during mitosis do not affect offspring, as these mutations are not passed on to gametes.
