Mutations can be inherited from parents.

Recorded sources
10 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that mutations can be inherited from parents?

Yes. Multiple reference and review sources state that germline mutations are passed from parent to child and down generations, while somatic mutations are not inherited. Several case reports and disease studies also document mutations inherited from parents in specific conditions.
