importance of variations
Answers
Evolution and Adaptation to the Environment. Variation allows some individuals within a population to adapt to the changing environment. Because natural selection acts directly only on phenotypes, more genetic variation within a population usually enables more phenotypic variation.
In nature, variations occur during sexual reproduction. If this variation is beneficial to the species, it is selected and remains in the population. This is because the variant species are more adapted. Therefore, they can survive better and reproduce to pass the genes to the offsprings.Variations are very important for organisms to survive because if there were no variations among living organisms there would have been no evolution or change and natural conditions do not remain constant they keep on changing. If variations stop then we would not be able to adapt to the changing conditions and can prove catastrophic to us.
