What are three pieces of evidence that inheritable genetic variations result from?

• new genetic combinations through meiosis, errors in DNA replication, and mutations from environmental factors

• errors in DNA replication, genetic combinations through mitosis, and mutations from chemical exposure

• mutations from bacteria, errors in DNA translation, and genetic combinations through phosphorylation

• errors in DNA transcription and new genetic combinations from DNA methylation
