How are mutations and meiosis similar? (1 point)

• They both always sort genetic information in the gametes.
• They both can pass on genetic variations that can be inherited.
• They both can only originate through the process of reproduction.
• They both impact the phenotypes of somatic cells.

The correct answer is:

• They both can pass on genetic variations that can be inherited.

Mutations introduce changes in the DNA sequence, leading to genetic variations, while meiosis is the process that creates gametes (sperm and eggs) and also introduces genetic variation through processes like crossing over and independent assortment. Both processes can contribute to heritable changes in an organism's genetic makeup.
