Answer:
A mutation is a heritable change in the genetic material of an individual. The change can be large or small. Large changes involve the loss, addition, duplication, or rearrangement of whole chromosomes or chromosome segments. Mutations can affect an organism by changing its physical characteristics (or phenotype) or it can impact the way DNA codes the genetic information (genotype). When mutations occur they can cause termination (death) of an organism or they can be partially lethal.

Answer:
gold wire (Au)
Explanation:
A substance that cannot be separated or broken down into simpler substances by chemical means is an element.
Between the given options only gold wire is an element, Au.
A way of knowing that it is an element is noticing that its formula is a single symbol which corresponds to an element found in the periodic table, unlike a combination of said symbols (like NaCl or H₂O).
The more kinetic energy a substance has, the warmer it will be and the faster particles will be moving, which reduces the density of the substance
