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

Explanation: Mutations create new genetic variants (alleles) and, if they occur in germ cells, can be inherited. Meiosis reshuffles alleles (through crossing over and independent assortment) producing genetically different gametes that can be passed to offspring.
