Detailed explanation-1: -Variation is the degree by which progeny or offspring differ from their parents. Thse variations could either be genotypic variations (difference in genetic makeup) or phenotypic variations (different traits). Q. The difference that exists between progeny and parents is known as variation.
Detailed explanation-2: -The answer has to do with the fact that each parent actually has two different sets of genes. And that each parent passes only half of their genes to their child. And that the half that gets passed down is random. All of this together ensures that each child ends up with a different, unique set of genes.
Detailed explanation-3: -Variation is defined as the visible differences represented by the individuals within the progeny and species.
Detailed explanation-4: -The difference that exists between progeny and parents is known as variation.
