Explanation / Answer

Mutation is a sudden change that occurs in the nucleotide sequence of genetic material of an organism.

Mutations are radom and they occur rarely. some are harmless but some mutations are very harmful.

Number of mutations occurig in a base pair can be calculated in bacteria, viruses and human beings.

The mechanisms behind the mutations are not certain. All sites of a geome have an equal probability of mutation.

so the answer would be all of the above. option E is the correct one.
