Question

How does the creation of variations in a species promote survival?

Answer 1

Variation:

1. Variation refers to the differences that arise between the individuals of a species or a group of organisms.
2. Variations arise as a mutation in the gene that encodes a protein.
3. Variations in the genome of the organism give rise to altered phenotypes such as differences in color.

Variation promotes the survival of species in the following ways:

1. Variation improves the survival rate of species as it helps the individual organisms adapt based on altering environmental conditions.
2. Variants formed due to environmental concerns form the basis for evolution.
