Answer:

A is false

Explanation:

Mutation is a change that occurs in the DNA nucleotide sequence either due to mistakes when DNA is copied during cell division or as a result of environmental factors e.g. UV radiation.

Since all the cells of an organism contains DNA, there are lots of places mutation can occur. However, some mutations are not passed from parents to offsprings and do not matter for evolution. This form of mutation is called Somatic or acquired mutation and it occurs in non-reproductive cells. Hence, won't be passed down from parents to offsprings. This form of mutation majorly occurs when DNA cells get replicated during mitosis or when the cell is exposed to harsh environmental factors that damages DNA strands e.g Ultraviolet radiation.

Mutations are only hereditary i.e can be passed down from parents to offsprings, if they occur in reproductive cells (sperms and eggs). This kind of mutation is called Germ-line mutation.

According to the question, mutations must not always occur in the parents before an offsprings DNA undergoes mutation.

Answer: One of the most common Monera is Escherichia coli, also known as E. coli.  "[E. coli] is a Gram-negative, facultative anaerobic, rod-shaped, coliform bacterium of the genus Escherichia that is commonly found in the lower intestine of warm-blooded organisms." States wikipedia.* Signs of E. coli are stomach pains and cramps, diarrhea that may range from watery to bloody, fatigue, loss of appetite or nausea, vomiting, and low fever < 101 °F/ 38.5 °C (not all people have this specific symptom).

   E. coli comes from human and animal wastes. During precipitation, E. coli may be washed into creeks, rivers, streams, lakes, or groundwater. Another way to get it is from contaminated food, a lot like corona virus. When cattle are slaughtered and processed, E. coli bacteria in their intestines can get on the meat. And when ground beef is made, it combines meat from many different animals, increasing the risk of contamination.
