Question

Which evidence best supports the claim that mutations are a source of inheritable genetic variation? (1 point)
Mutations affect protein synthesis which impacts the way traits are expressed.
Meritons can only happen during melos because genes ar
• Mutations are not inheritable from gametes because they are
given from each parent.
• Mutations affect the way DNA is created through transcription.

Answer 1

The evidence 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 directly links mutations to changes in traits, indicating that these changes can be inherited if they occur in the DNA of gametes, leading to variation in offspring.
