The option that best describes a similarity between mutations and meiosis is: They both can pass on genetic variations that can be inherited.
Mutations introduce changes in the DNA sequence, and if these mutations occur in germ cells (gametes), they can be passed on to the next generation. Similarly, meiosis is the process through which gametes are produced, and it includes mechanisms like crossing over and independent assortment that also contribute to genetic variation in offspring.
