Genes are not copied EXACTLY the same. There is some variation, this variation could mean you have a gene that helps or hinders you :D

What does genetic varation really mean?

since GENETIC is the compilation of DNA strands to form a gene that acts as a determinant to the growth pattern of an organism, that is the type of hereditary information the organism posses. and VARIATION is a change that exist between organisms..... thus; the word genetic variation is a change that exist between organisms of a particular specie as a result of change(s) that has occurred in their gene....

What is a heritable feature?

Heritability is the proportion of Phenotypic variation in a population that is attributable to genetic variation among individuals. Phenotypic variation among individuals may be due to genetic and/or enviromental factors. Heritability analyses estimate the relative contributions of differences in genetic and non-genetic factors to the total phenotypic variance in a population.

Are you talking of this in means of Statistics? If you are, then the variation from the mean is measured in standard deviation.


What is variation in science?

An animal or an insect that is born, that has what it needs for it to live. For example, sea turtles have a hard shell to protect itself. They have a sharp beak to bight through it's food. This is a example of what a sea turtle needs to survive.
