Question

How do Variations lead to diversity in living organisms?

Answer 1

• The presence of differences between organisms of the same species is called variation.
• Variation forms a basis for selection of characters in group organisms.
• Grouping of organisms is done on the basis of certain characters which vary over populations indicating some common lineage of each varied group, or the way in which the organism may have evolved.
• Thus we can say that variation leads to diversity in living organisms.
