Answer:

The right answer to this question is B. False

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's think about humans as an example for this question, humans are organisms that are always reproducing, for a mutation to happen, a problem on the division of the cells need to happen, and once this happens, the mutation happens too. Mutations are mostly caused by problems related to chromosomes, and as it's well known, humans reproduce a lot, increasing the chance of these problems to happen. There are several kinds of mutations, some of them don't kill the human, but some of them do, that's why it's a problem society faces every day.

Technology is always advancing, and we are at the beggining of studies relating CRISPR/CAS9 to help solving this matter.
