Mutations arise due to changes in nucleic acid sequences. D. Mutations can be beneficial, and they arise due to changes in nucleic acid sequences. E. Mutations can be beneficial, and they arise due to changes in amino acid sequences.

Option A, C and D

Explanation:

Mutations can be beneficial and call also not be beneficial. Examples of beneficial mutation includes laptop tolerance, HIV resistance etc. This mutations occur as changes in the nucleic acid sequences (DNA; which is made up of the four nitrogenous bases, deoxy/ribose sugar and phosphate group.
