Of course, variation exists within individuals of the same species. This is because there are a small minority of genes which have multiple alleles in most species. In cases where a subset of the population is isolated from the rest of the population, a subspecies may develop which has particular unique characteristics but can still interbreed with the rest of the species.

What is phenotypic variation?

Phenotype variation is slight variations in a phenotype that are caused by the expression of an organism's genes or the influence of environmental factors. A species can have several different phenotypes within it.


What is variation among members of the same species called?

Do yellow scorpions exist?

Yes. There are many species that are yellow. Actually, in the research I've done in the Kalahari, I've found two specimens of the same species (Parabuthus granulatus). One was pitch black and the other was yellow. Same species, different colour variation.


What is interspecific and intraspecific cooperation?

Interspecific cooperation refers to help or assistance of individuals belonging to different species (a case of this is mutualism), whereas intraspecific cooperation is observed between individuals within the same species

What is a species variation?

The variation within a species are the tiny to significant differences which have evolved over time. Insects which live in Africa have features which allow them to survive the heat better than those living in Antarctica.

What is the difference between individuals of the same species?

They have different genotype and phenotype i.e. they have genes in different manners in according to recessive or dominant which make variations in their characters

What is the definition for variation?

Any difference between two indivisuals of the same species For example: Eye colour, Hair colour etc is called Variation


Why is increased variation an advantage to a species?

Because if all of the individuals had the same genetic information then if the species was introduced to a new disease or environment the individuals have the possibility of all dying. If a select few individuals had different DNA that allowed them to be resistant to a disease then they would be able to survive and save the species from extinction.
