Hey, there!!!

An acquired mutation is not present in the zygote, but is acquired some time later in life. It occurs in one cell, and then is passed on to any new cells that are the offspring of that cell. This kind of mutation is not present in the egg or sperm that formed the fetus, so it cannot be passed on to the next generation. Acquired mutations are much more common than inherited mutations. Most cancers are caused by acquired mutations. This type of mutation is also called sporadic, or somatic.

Acquired mutations can be caused by things that we are exposed to in our environment, including cigarette smoke, radiation, hormones, and diet.

Hope this helps.
