::::::::::::When calculating the mutation results, the [[Evolved_Bacteria#StatsEffect|'''statseffects''']] of Bacteria A and Bacteria B play an important role.

Mutating Bacteria with similar stats effects gives a better chance to obtain a good result.

Even though higher level Bacteria generally have better statseffect, it is possible to mutate a Bacteria with weaker stats bonuses, especially if A and B are of different '''rarities'''.

In most cases, Bacteria C will boost have the same stats effects as either Bacteria A or Bacteria B. The exception is when C has more stats than A and B individually.
