Variations occurs in species due to the process of "Crossing over"
Mutation within the DNA produces variation within a species.
sexual reproduction
It has adaptations
Variation exists within the genes of every population or species as the result of natural selection. The other reason is due to neutrality of mutations.
Phenotype variation is slight variations in a phenotype that are caused by the expression of an organism's genes or the influence of environmental factors. A species can have several different phenotypes within it.
what is this, your homework? yes and its hard.
Due to genes and mutations, organisms show variation within a species. Changes in the environment can put a selective pressure on the species - certain mutations may be more beneficial, therefore more individuals with that mutation will exist, as they survive and breed. This process is called Natural Selection.
Human species, as in the variation in height.
Variation of a species can come about in many ways, but mutation is the major cause of variation in a species.
Within a species, the animals breed together so that the similar characteristics are passed from parents to their offspring. This is why there is less variation within a species than between a species.

Because there is variation within a species, it is therefore possible for the law of natural selection to operate, by selecting those variations which best enhance survival and reproduction.
The Grants' work shows that variation within a species increases the likelihood of the species' adapting to and surviving environmental change.
Reproduction produces variation in population gene pools. Every time organisms reproduce, be this sexually or asexually, the genome of the offspring is slightly offset compared to that of its parent(s). Additional factors in this may be mutagenic influences in the environment, such as radiation.
Phenotype variation is slight variations in a phenotype that are caused by the expression of an organism's genes or the influence of environmental factors. A species can have several different phenotypes within it.
No, adaptations usually do not result in any genotypical change in a species.
The differing traits provided by variation mean that at least some groups of the species may be better prepared to survive.
