Why is the variation beneficial to the species but not necessarily for the individual?

$\huge{\underline{\underline{\sf{\orange{Answer:-}}}}}$

The reason why the variation is beneficial to the species than individuals is because sometimes the climatic changes have a drastic effect on the species, which makes their survival difficult. For examples, if the temperature of the water body increases, then there might be certain species of microorganisms which might die. This may result in disturbance in the environment. So, variation is beneficial to species and not for the individuals.

Answer 2

Answer:

Organisms are normally adapted to live in a particular kind of niche. In case of alteration in the ecological condition of that niche, the organism would not be able to survive. Only the variants of the organisms resistant to changes would survive and grow further. Thus, variation is beneficial but not necessarily for the individual.
