Variations that confer an advantage to an individual organism only will survive in population. Justify.

Answer:
..
Explanation:
Variations are random. They can either be to the advantage or to the disadvantage of a species.
Taking the Mediterranean orchid, Ophrys as an example:
One of its petals resembles the female wasp so the male wasp pseudocopulates with it and helps in pollination. If there were to be a variation in the species, and the flower would change its color or marking, it'd stop resembling the female wasp. Then the male wasp won't be attracted to it or visit the flower. Pollination won't take place. If pollination does not take, seeds won't set in and there would be a decrease in the species' population. This could also cause extinction. In this way, variations that confer an advantage to an individual organism only will survive in population.
