  1. Mutated is past tense, therefore it cannot be pluralized.

    Mutates or mutations might be what you're looking for.

    Mutate, mutates, mutated, mutating, mutation, mutations.


  2. Also called Umlaut plural. Changing the vowel e.g.

    Mouse Mice

    Foot Feet

    Goose Geese

    etc.

  3. There are several nouns that have irregular plural forms. Plurals formed in this way are sometimes called mutated (or mutating) plurals.

    more than one child = children

    more than one woman = women

    more than one man = men

    more than one person = people

    more than one goose = geese

    more than one mouse = mice

    more than one barracks = barracks

    more than one deer = deer
