GERMLINE MUTATIONS:
They take place in the sex cells. Mutations are relevant to large-scale evolution are those that can be transmitted to descendentes. A germ single mutation can have diverse effects:
-Let there be no changes in the phenotype.
Some mutations have no effect on the phenotype of an organismo. This can happen in many situations. Maybe the mutation occurs in a segment of DNA with no function or occurring in a region that encodes a protein, but in the end did not affect the amino acid sequence of the protein.
-Occurring small change in phenotype. A mutation caused only the effect on the ears of the cat that we see in the example below:
-Which produces a large change in phenotype. Sometimes, some really important changes in phenotype, as the resistance of insects to DDT, are caused by mutations unique. A single mutation can also have strong negative effects to the body. Mutations that cause the death of an organism called lethal and, obviously, there are worse cases. There are some types of changes that can not be caused by a single mutation, not even by many.

Here we can see how the cat has his ears back.
