Frieda is developing a computer model of mutations in human dna. she plans for the model to incorporate one point mutation for every 10 million base pairs of dna, which is a rate that is supported by her research. however, her advisor argues that mutations could occur 100 times more frequently under certain circumstances.
a) true
b) false

It is true that mutations could occur 100 times more frequently as stated by the advisor but under certain circumstances.

Explanation:

The mutagens present in the environment can aid in the process of mutations that increases the frequency of mutation. Mutagens may be anything that can make change in DNA like the radiations, ultra violet rays, x-rays etc. Sometimes, the habit of person like smoking; tobacco usage and pesticides may also cause the mutation in any individual.

The  correct answer should be a waste
