Variation is caused by new genetic mutations in a population which lead to different traits in a population. Evolution selets the most useful of these mutation, eventually leading to prominence of new traits within a species or population, or even new species.

What where the 3 steps that lead to the formation to new species according to the theory of natural selection?
Generally and simply, mutation, genetic variation and natural selection.
What is heritable variation?
Heritable variation is the variation in characteristics caused by genetic factors.
A genetic characteristic of the individual?
You can inherit height, hair color, and eye color.
Differences between organisms of the same species are known as?
Homologous structures. ps go to who's the cutest.com and click on the pie button

What evidence support the theoryb of evolition?
Evolution of humans and bacteria plus some animals eg)primates.
How does genetic variation and mutations relate to each other?
mutation brings about variation which is the basis of evolution and the two types of variation are heritable and non-heritable
What caused variation?
Cross pollination, mutation and polyploidy lead to variations in the progeny
Mutations are a source of what in a species?
Genetic variation, which can lead to evoloution, and then potentially a new species.
How does the variation contribute survival of organisms?
Variation in Genotypes result in variations of Phenotypes which lead to the Possibility of Biological Development that did end up being Survival of the Fittest.
How variation within the species enabled evolutionary change to happen?
To make a long answer short, when a variation helps an animal survive in its habitat, that animal will become more successful than it used to be, and enough variation can lead to a new species.
Is pencil lead expensive?
Really, it all depends on the buyer. That said, pencil lead can range from $1.00 USD - $10.00 USD. The variation is caused by the different sizes of lead available.
Why is variation not possible in mitotic division of cells?
Mitosis does not lead to the formation of chromosomes with new combination. In meiosis as a result of crossing over, chromosomes with new combinations are formed which are responsible for variation.
Which environmental factor would likely lead to an increase in genetic variation in population of squirrels?
