The genetic mutation in a rabbit's muscle cell will not be passed on to its offspring, as muscle cells are somatic cells and do not contribute to the genetic material in reproductive cells (gametes). Only mutations that occur in germ cells (sperm or eggs) can be inherited by the next generation. Therefore, the mutation will remain confined to the individual rabbit and will not affect its progeny.
