So, when they grow, and it’s the next generation - however that happens, they keep their new mutated form, or go back to the original form?

They all continue to change and differentiate, the exact ‘original’ will never be replicated by its descendants, although ‘back’ mutations are certainly possible at some loci; especially if the selective pressure is removed.
