mutation is an alteration in the nucleotide sequence of a gene whereas variation is any difference between individuals of a particular species.
variation is difference between genes and trait among individual* organism within population. mutation is change in genetic instruction I hope it helps
What is the difference between variation and variety
Generally, mutation.
A mutagen is a substance that CAUSES a mutation. Essentially, mutagens are the cause, mutations are the effect. Simple as that :)
a gene is passed on from generations and a chromosome is just found in certain cells
Genotypic variation is caused by mutation. Phenotypic variation can be caused by mutation, which gives rise to different alleles, or it can be caused by environmental factors.

Polymorphism refers to the existence of different forms of a gene within a population. It contributes to genetic diversity. Mutation, on the other hand, is a change in the DNA sequence that can result in genetic variation. Mutations can lead to new alleles, whereas polymorphism describes the presence of multiple alleles in a population.
A variation of a gene is called and allele. Different alleles are caused by mutations.
magnetic variation
Basic source of variation in all organisms is mutation .
random changes or variation in a DNA sequence
