Define variation in relation to rare species why is variation beneficial to the species
Answers
Variation -The difference in character among the species is known as variation.
Variation is necessary for rare species because it is the only way they can adapt them self and survive.
Explanation:
Variations are beneficial to the species than individual because sometimes for a species, the environmental conditions change so drastically that their survival becomes difficult. For example, if the temperature of water increases suddenly, then most of the bacteria living in that water would die. Only few variants that are resistant to heat would be able to survive. However, if these variants were not there, then the entire species of bacteria would have been destroyed. Thus, these variants help in the survival of the species. However, all variations are not necessarily beneficial for the individual organisms.
