Question

only variations that confer advantage to an individual organism will survive ina population. Do u agree with the statement? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Heya..

Here's your answer...

No.

This statement is mostly true, but not always. Variations that are advantageous to an organism will help the organism to survive better in the environment. So these will survive in the population. Sometimes variations that do not confer any particular advantage or disadvantage to an organism may also survive in the population.

Thanks..!!!

Answer 2

: Required Answer

$\implies$ The statement holds true – only variations provide an advantage to individual organisms that will survive in a population. For example, variations that lead to the increase in heat-resistance in bacteria is very useful for survival if it finds itself in an environment where there is a sudden increase in ambient temperature. This will determine the difference between life and death for the bacteria.
