Answer 1

The factor that could increase the possibility of mutations in your offspring is smoking tobacco.

While mutations can happen randomly and are not always inherited, exposure to certain environmental factors such as tobacco smoke can increase the risk of mutations in gametes, which can be passed on to offspring.
