Answer 1

The correct response to how mutations and meiosis are similar is:

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

Both mutations (which can create new alleles or variations in genetic sequences) and meiosis (which involves the recombination and segregation of chromosomes) contribute to genetic diversity that can be passed on to the next generation.
