Every time a human cell divides, it is estimated that around 1 to 10 random mutations can occur in the DNA sequence. These mutations can happen due to errors in DNA replication, environmental factors or through natural cellular processes. It's important to note that most of these mutations do not have a significant effect on the cell or the organism because they either occur in non-coding regions of DNA or are corrected by the cell's repair systems.
