Expert Answer
- Variations produced in the organisms get accumulated and are passed on from the parents to their offspring by the phenomenon of inheritance.
- The significance of a variation shows up only if it continues to be inherited by the offspring of several generations.
- All variations that occur in a species do not have an equal chance of surviving in the environment. Depending on the nature of variations, different individuals would have different kinds of advantages.
- Selection of variants by the environmental factors forms the basis of evolutionary processes.
- Useful variations stand a chance of survival because nature selects only the useful variations.
- These variations may lead to increased survival advantages of the individuals due to positive adoption of traits or may merely contribute to the genetic drift.
- For example, bacteria variants which can withstand heat have better chances to survive in a heat wave than the non-variant bacteria having no capacity to tolerate heat wave. Thus, variants in a population of a species help in the survival of a species.
- In the absence of variation, there would be no science of heredity as all individuals of a race would be identical to one another in all aspects.
