Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Genetic variations that alter gene activity or protein function can introduce different traits in an organism. If a trait is advantageous and helps the individual survive and reproduce, the genetic variation is more likely to be passed to the next generation (a process known as natural selection).
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.
