For one, without genetic variation, a species is more likely to face significant danger from disease. In humans there are some diseases that affect a few races more than others, but because of genetic variations, our species as a whole is more likely to adapt to new diseases and survive rather than if everybody had the same predisposition toward a disease.

∙ 8y agoIT is a vital part in the evolution of life. it enabled us to be what we are today. It allows organisms and animals to evolve and adapt to their surrounding environments, hence why polar bears have thick fur for handling the extreme conditions of the poles, and snakes have thin skin keeping cool in hot conditions.

What two sources do genetic variation in living things include?
mutation in the DNA order and sexual reproduction of the favorable animal in the ecosystem.
Which of the following is least likely to be a source of genetic variation among living organisms?
Things that kill the organism, such as, immature lungs at birth.
What do all living things do?
Considering that plants are also living things we all need oxygen, so all living things breath.
Explain the role of variation in evolution?
Variation plays a role in the process of natural selection because it keeps things mixed up. This is necessary so that one thing doesn't overtake another, ruling it out. If things are equal, one can't overrule another.
Are air bubbles living things?
Nor, bubbles are not living things.
What two sources do genetic variation in living things include?
mutation in the DNA order and sexual reproduction of the favorable animal in the ecosystem.
Which of the following is least likely to be a source of genetic variation among living organisms?
Things that kill the organism, such as, immature lungs at birth.
The process of crossing over affects the variation in living things by?
Increasing variation
Do all living organisms have genetic material?
Yes, all living things have genetic material.
What is the genetic material that contains characteristics of living organisms?
The DNA molecule is the genetic material of life.
The main components of biodiversity occuring within organisms at a cellular level as it decribes the variety of life producing material carring the variation information in all living things is called?
Genetic Diversity. Genetic Diversity occurs within organisms at a cellular level as it describes the variety of genetic material in all live things c:
Eukarotic cells have genetic material?
All living things have of a genetic material.
Discuss the causes of variation Living organisms?
Causes of variation is random mutation. Random mutations constantly occur in the genomes of organisms; these mutations create genetic variation. If all living things were same, we will all use up one type of food as our nutrient source and eventually we will run out of food to consume.. making less likely for us to survive..
Law of form of living things?
The law of form of living things is concerned with the genetic structure of living organisms.
Bacterial cells do not have genetic material?
No they don't have genetic material
Living things are based on a universal what?
Genetic code
What substance is the genetic materiel of living things?
DNA
