Question

Which statement is scientifically based?
Mutations rarely occur.
All mutations are harmful.
Some mutations can be contagious, like infections.
Mutations are not passed from parent to offspring.

Answer 1

I think it's c. some mutations can be contagious like infections. Not all mutations are harmful, but they can be passed through a species. I haven't really studied this, but I believe this is the right answer.

Answer 2

All mutations are harmful is an opinion, so that isn't scientifically based. Mutations can pass through heredity, so that is not scientifically based. And mutations occur very often. Therefore, C. is the correct answer.
