Detailed explanation-1: -Genetic variation refers to differences among the genomes of members of the same species.

Detailed explanation-2: -Genetic variation-these are differences between individuals that are inherited from parents, such as the colour of your eyes, hair and skin. Environmental variation-these are differences between individuals that are not inherited but caused by the environment that the organism lives in, including scars and tattoos.

Detailed explanation-3: -Biological variation or variance can be defined as the appearance of differences in the magnitude of response among individuals in the same population given the same dose of a compound.

Detailed explanation-4: -Variation within species affects how organisms interact with each other and their surrounding environment. For example, the size of a fish’s mouth, known as its gape, varies and determines the size of prey it can eat.

Detailed explanation-5: -Variations mean the differences (morphological, physiological, cytological and behaviouristic) amongst the individuals of the same species and the offspring of the same parents.
