2. The author most likely calls a certain kind of mutation a "typo" (line 25) primarily in order to
(A) distinguish it from mutations that are adaptive - "adaptation" in the context of "typo" is out of scope.
(B) characterize it as relatively inconsequential - opposite.
(C) indicate that it is an instance of imperfect copying - Yes. In an ideal scenario (DNA contains the overall blueprint of the cell's functioning, while "gene" is a subset of DNA as "gene" only contains the blueprints of "proteins"), the gene will create an exact copy when RNA (messenger) take the info from the gene, but sometimes because of imperfect copying of the gene blueprint "typos" the new mutations are created which are beneficial for immune cells particularly as they can try multiple gene blueprints or ammunition to fight against pathogen or virus attacks. Ok.
(D) emphasize that it is easily overlooked - No.
(E) suggest an analogy
