Detailed explanation-1: -Having variation within a species means that if the environment changes there may be individuals within the species more able to withstand the change and survive. There is usually extensive genetic variation within a population of organisms or a species.
Detailed explanation-2: -Genetic variation is advantageous to a population because it enables some individuals to adapt to the environment while maintaining the survival of the population.
Detailed explanation-3: -A genetically diverse population of individuals is more likely to survive than a population of individuals with similar genetic makeup. Variation allows some individuals within a population to adapt to the changing environment and natural selection allows the expression of those beneficial traits to persist.
Detailed explanation-4: -Genetic variation in a group of organisms enables some organisms to survive better than others in the environment in which they live. Organisms of even a small population can differ strikingly in terms of how well suited they are for life in a certain environment.
