The mutation that would be passed on to living offspring if it happened in a parent is "an insertion mutation in a gamete that deactivates a gene for hair color." Mutations that occur in gametes (sperm and egg cells) can be inherited by the offspring, while mutations in somatic cells (like those causing skin cancer) are not passed on.
