Will my kids inherit the genetic mutations that I aquire during my lifetime?
gpt
Any cell during your lifetime that acquires a mutation that is in direct motherhood of the egg or sperm you contribute, they can inherit it.

If your kidney has a cell that mutates, they will never see it.  The same goes for 99.999% of the cells in your body.

But if a cell in your embryo that later divided to eventually (after several cell generations) become a sperm (or egg), then yes, they can inherit that.

EDIT:  edited to clarify that it's "cell generations".  There is a lineage of cells in your body that divided from the fertilized egg you came from, eventually leading to the egg or sperm cell you contribute to a child.  If any of those cells develop a mutation, it's possible for your child to inherit that change.
