Answer 13

because When the cells divide during miosis to make an egg or sperm they "give" each new cell one of the chromosome copies. If the chromosome copy has a mutation on it and the egg or sperm it is it gets fertilized then the offspring will have the mutant gene on the chromosome. The DNA does not have a mind, it doesnt know that what it is passing on is a mutation, so it just passes it on like it would any "normal" gene. @Abhisar
