Explain variation and why it is important within a population or species.
Variation is the difference that occurs within individuals throughout a particular population or species. This is due to genetic variations. Some variations are mutations (change in DNA). Variations are important because it may help improve the chances of survival for certain species. Without genetic variations, populations would never change and species would not evolve.
