Answer Details
Mutations occur in the DNA, which is present in the chromosomes. Gametes (sperm and egg) contain half of the genetic information needed to form a zygote (fertilized egg) which will eventually develop into an organism. Therefore, mutations in the gametes or in the chromosomes of any other cell can be passed on to offspring and may result in a change in the phenotype (physical appearance) of the organism. Thus, the basic point of impact by changes which produce mutation is the chromosomes.
