Yes.
If I recall well. This is why HIV and cancer are hard to target with medicine.
Because they have a higher mutation rate than the immune system.

That's a great way to explain the importance of epigenetic inheritance!

To add on to this thread, certain types of immune cells purposefully make use of a DNA polymerase that makes mistakes at a HIGHER rate than average. This allows for greater variation among immune cells, allowing the organism to potentially survive better in hostile environments.
