Mutations, or variations in genetic code that alter the structure of an organism, can in theory help a creature by allowing adaptation to its changing surrounding. However, genetic code can be rather delicate; many learning disorders are attributed to common, malignant mutations in genetic code.

∙ 11y agoA mutation might help an organism. For example maybe you were born to fight a different disease that other people can't. It might be harmful if for example it stops you from making insulin(that causes Diabetes).

How does an organism get variation?
depends where you put it
How does variation ensure that a species to survive?
Creation of variation occurs in a species and help in the survival to species as the most suitable or favorable character pass next generation and under unfavorable condition only the most fit organism survive and help in continuation of the species.
What is the organism that carries invisible traits?
genetic variation
What is an antigenic variation?
An antigenic variation is the mechanism by which an infectious organism changes its surface proteins in favour of circumventing a host immune response.
How does variation hurt an organism?
Actually variation helps, because it increases diversity within the population increasing chances of survival of the population in the cases of environmental disaster, disease, etc. Some individual organisms in the population die and some live, more diversity the more likely some will live through whatever may happen.
How do dead organisms help new organisms grow?
dead organisms help new organism because they decompose all the bad things that can hurt a new organism

What is the importance of variation in organism?
Variation is important among organisms for us to indicate which is which :))
A difference in an inherited trait of an organism that may lead to new species?
variation

Creation of variation occurs in a species and help in the survival to species as the most suitable or favorable character pass next generation and under unfavorable condition only the most fit organism survive and help in continuation of the species.
What is the organism that carries invisible traits?
genetic variation
The fact that an organism's offspring are not identical is known as?
inherited variation
Is genetic variation found only in wild organism in nature?
No.
What is antigenic variation?
An antigenic variation is the mechanism by which an infectious organism changes its surface proteins in favour of circumventing a host immune response.

What is a variation that can help an organism survive?
A "variation" is a genetic feature expressed in some physical, physio chemical or behavioral manner by a living organism that is not present in the general population of the species to which that living organism belongs. If that variation advantages that animal as compared to others of that species then the likelihood is that that animal will breed more successfully, potentially passing on that variation to its offspring. Slowly variations accumulate and one species changes into a new species - this is called evolution.
What is the primary cause of variation in offspring of sexually reproducing organism?
recombination of alleles
