Question

why is variation beneficial for species

Answer 1

variation is an important force in evolution as it allows natural selection to increase or decrease frequency of alleles already in the population. ... Genetic variation is advantageous to a population because it enables some individuals to adapt to the environment while maintaining the survival of the population.









Variations are beneficial for the survival of the species. Populations of organisms fill well-defined places, or niches, in the ecosystem, using their ability to reproduce. However, niches can change because of reasons beyond the control of the organisms and could even wipe out the entire population.

Answer 2

♤ A species include large no. Of individuals of same kind. All the organisms of a species have similar body design and well adapted to the place.

♤ If there is a variation arise from the individual it might not be beneficial to it, even this variation may lead to the death of the individual.

♤ but the variation may be beneficial if the species faces a drastically altered condition.

♤ In this condition the population may wiped out completely but of some variation are there few individual can survive and thus variation is beneficial for the species.
