Genetic mutations result from a variety of factors, including DNA replication errors and environmental damage to DNA that is not repaired correctly. Some of these mutations involve genes that are not crucial to the process of development, or the mutations are not severe enough to be fatal to the developing fetus. These are known as viable errors. These are the types of mutations that are passed on to offspring. If a viable error happens in a cell, identify the cell type that could potentially pass the viable error onto an offspring.
