    A gene mutation may result in an oncogene. So during that cell's replication the gate keeper genes will no longer be able to suppress it. This results in a mutated daughter cell. If there is a subsequent mutation an a daughter cell, a tumor will be produced.

    Gene mutation can also cause mosaicism and result in different phenotypes
