The best evidence that 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 emphasizes the role of mutations in altering the genetic code, which can lead to changes in protein structure and function, thereby influencing the traits that are passed on to the next generation.
