Germline Mutations: These mutations occur in gametes and can be passed on to offspring, affecting every cell in the offspring's body. An example is Down syndrome caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21.
Somatic Mutations: These mutations occur in other cells of the body and do not affect offspring as they are confined to one cell. An example is lung cancer caused by mutations in lung cells.
