This statement is not totally correct-many genes in many diffrent organisms
have varying mutation rates. In fact this is used sometimes to study
phylogenesis and thus the classification of species and their relatedness.
Some genes are know to have a consistent rate of mutation and many mutations
are repetitive, effected my many factors such age, exposure to certain
chemicals Eviromental stress ect.
