For a mutation to have an affect on the species as a whole it must be inheritable and be able to be passed on to offspring.

What is a mutation?

A mutation is any change in the nucleotide sequence of the DNA of a living organism.

There are different types of mutation depending on the outcome in the affected organism. The two most common types are;

  • Somatic mutation; which only affects body cells
  • Germline mutation; which affects reproductive organs and hence can be passed on to offsprings.

This suggests that for a mutation to have an affect on the species as a whole it must be inheritable and be able to be passed on to offspring i.e. be the germline mutation.
