what is the important of variation?
Answers
Variation help in survival of the organism by many different ways-
(i)It helps a species to survive
(ii)It also helps organisms to adapt to their environment as well as to changes which do occur in the environment.
(iii)It also helps a species to emerge strong if favoured by natural selection.
(iv)Variation helps a species to be resistant to diseases.
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 stops then we would not be able to adapt to the changing conditions and can prove catastrophic to us.
