acquired mutation

Also known as somatic mutation, acquired mutation is an alteration of genetic matter that occurs after the time of conception and affects somatic cells (as opposed to mutations that affect germ cells). A principal consequence of affecting only somatic cells is that such mutations cannot be passed to offspring. [Source: Encyclopedia of Global Health; Acquired Mutation]
