What will happen if the species of the insects lacks of variation needed to adapt to changing environment?

It will most likely die because it is not use to the changes of shelter, food, and other VERY important things.

What species that lacks variation is able to adapt to a changing environment?
Become extinct over time
Why is the everglades kite endangered?
because there is not enough variation within the species to allow it to evolve to the changing environment :)
How can a population guarantee reproductive success in an ever-changing environment?
It can't and species die out because of this all the time. However variation in the gene pool will throw up variations in the population which, as the environment changes, leads to the evolution of new species.
What are advantages of variation?
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.
Why is variation good for a species?
Sometimes positive variation can improve some ability of the species adapted to the environment. For example, a kind of virus can be killed by medicine A. A small part of the virus has some variation that make it can be alive with medicine A. The species of the virus can exist in future, or it will disappear in the future in the environment full of medicine A. Besides, positive variation can provide some capacity for the species to get more resource in the competition. Of course, there is negative variation that might contribute to the disappearance for the species. That is just another side of variation.
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.
Why variation in a species gene pool contributes to it's survival in a constantly changing environment?
Variation within the species would mean that individuals are likely to react differently to environmental change. This means that they may not all have a negative reaction, and therefore the species is more likely to survive.A large population is also important in limiting the risks of environmental influence - as changes may not reach or affect the entire population.
Why genetic variation is of to benefit to a population?
It can provide resistance to diseases or other beneficial characteristics. -variation in more competitive species than our own can result in natural selection that is better focused to the specific environment: there is a bigger range of characteristics, so the best traits allow those members to survive longer and therefore mate more. This allows the species overall to constantly reproduce the beneficial traits and flourish.
Do some species of insects and bacteria change?
All bacteria can mutate and evolve, Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) is the best example of a bacteria changing to adjust to its environment.
What might be the evoluntionary significance of the swicth from asexual to sexual reproduction when the environment changes?
Environmental changes almost demand variation in organisms so that the best fitted to the changing environment survive and reproduce in a greater number. Asexual reproduction produces clones with little to no genetic variation. Good enough for a static environment, but in a challenging environment with no variation that could be more beneficial than cloning the asexual species could find itself selected against.
What causes variation within species?
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.
Why is variation important to survival of a species?
Hats off to Sir Charles Darwin for his theory of evolution! Variations are very important to species. Some of the variations are more suitable for the species to survive. You get new species with time by selection of the better ones.
