No, mutations do not occur every time a new offspring is produced. Mutations are random changes in the DNA sequence and can happen during the replication or recombination of the DNA. While mutations are a natural part of the evolutionary process and can occur in offspring, they are relatively rare events. The frequency of mutations can vary depending on various factors such as the species, environmental factors, and the DNA replication machinery's accuracy.
