Detailed explanation-1: -They have different genetic variations that cause them to be more resistant to cold temperatures. They are able to reproduce more quickly than the other strawberries. The color of the strawberries is darker, and they maintain their temperature better than other strawberries.

Detailed explanation-2: -Genetic variations can arise from gene variants (also called mutations) or from a normal process in which genetic material is rearranged as a cell is getting ready to divide (known as genetic recombination). Genetic variations that alter gene activity or protein function can introduce different traits in an organism.

Detailed explanation-3: -Genetic variation can be caused by mutation (which can create entirely new alleles in a population), random mating, random fertilization, and recombination between homologous chromosomes during meiosis (which reshuffles alleles within an organism’s offspring).

Detailed explanation-4: -Animal Adaptations in the Tundra Biome The animals here tend to have thicker and warmer feathers and fur. Many of them have larger bodies and shorter arms, legs and tails which helps them retain their heat better and prevent heat loss. Many of the birds of the tundra have two coats of feathers to help keep them warm.

Detailed explanation-5: -According to Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection, organisms that possess heritable traits that enable them to better adapt to their environment compared with other members of their species will be more likely to survive, reproduce, and pass more of their genes on to the next generation.
