The response that best supports the claim that mutations are a source of inheritable genetic variation is:
"Mutations affect protein synthesis which impacts the way traits are expressed."
This statement highlights the connection between mutations, which can occur in the DNA sequence, and their effect on traits that can be passed on to the next generation, thus indicating how they contribute to genetic variation.
