genes are kept in chromosomes, there is this thing called meiosis which is when the chromosomes/genes get split in half, one from both parents that way it equals the normal amount of genes later. the genes have tons of ways to mix and match around while getting split apart and then ending up in the same place.

Relate genetic variation and mutations to each other?

mutations cause genetic variation, and vice-versa. If there is a genetic variation (or lack of one), then this can effect the severity of the mutation.

What are the benefits of genetic variation and what are the potential problem that it can cause?

Genetic variation can increase a population's adaptability to changing environments, enhance resistance to diseases, and contribute to overall biodiversity. However, high levels of genetic variation can also lead to increased risk of certain genetic disorders and diseases, as well as reduced fitness due to inbreeding.
