Answer: can be described by all of these.
Explanation: most non‑neutral mutations are deleterious (rather than beneficial), so they tend to disrupt molecular/cellular function (i.e., degrade information systems) and thereby add to a population’s genetic load; beneficial mutations are comparatively rare.
