False, changes in genes due to mutations can be beneficial. (An example would be polar bears. They had a genetic mutation that gave them their white fur. Therefore, they blended in with snow easier, ate more food, survived longer, and passed down their genetics, while those without the mutation died out.)

2. synthesize its own food
Explanation:
Based on how they obtain their nutrition, living organisms has been classified to be either producers, consumers, or decomposers. Producers are organisms capable of synthesizing their own food using light (photosynthesis) or inorganic chemicals (chemosynthesis).
Consumers, on the other hand, cannot synthesize their own food and hence, rely on other organisms to obtain their energy source. Consumers feed on other organisms to obtain energy. In this question, a fruit fly is classified as a CONSUMER because it cannot synthesize its own food.
