Advantage- On the species level, variation allows a population to maintain a healthy diversity, allowing it to cope with changing circumstances.Disadvantage- On the individual level, variation may lead to detrimental changes as well as neutral and beneficial changes.
It causes diversity and variation amongst a population
Changes to continents, climate, sea level, and other environmental factors have occurred throughout Earth's history. These changes have happened over millions of years and have shaped the course of evolution. For example, the breakup of continents and the formation of new ones have created barriers that isolated species and led to the development of new species. Climate change has also influenced the distribution of species and their adaptations, while changes in sea level have created opportunities for migration and colonization of new habitats.
I think it's environmental and genetic.
Some species are becoming extinct. It is due to various environmental factors. Deforestation, ozone depletion are some.
Environmental change and variation :)
Variation within species can be caused by genetic mutations, environmental factors, and interactions between genes and the environment. Genetic mutations are changes in the DNA sequence that can create new traits. Environmental factors, such as diet and climate, can also influence variation by selecting for certain traits over others.
Changes gradually because each species responds differently to changes in environmental factors.
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.
variation
The Grants' work shows that variation within a species increases the likelihood of the species' adapting to and surviving environmental change.
yes
because they are
-species varieties -genotypes -environmental factors
When environmental conditions change it is more likely that at least some members of a species will survive if there is variation among the members.
there is variation among the members.
The differing traits provided by variation mean that at least some groups of the species may be better prepared to survive.
