What Is Variation In Organisms?

The differences shown by the individuals of one kind of organisms are called variations. Variations are due to hereditary and non-hereditary characteristics. Characteristics, which are passed from parents to off spring, are called hereditary characteristics.    In general the term variation means the difference in characteristics of organisms belonging to the same species in a natural population.  Two types of variation, i.e. Continuous and discontinuous, occur in any large population. In continuous variation, there are small differences among individuals of the same species and many intermediate forms are seen. So there is a complete gradation of many characteristics of organisms from one extreme to the other in a population. E.g. Height in human being. Characteristics showing continuous variation are produced due to combined effects of many genes and environmental factors.    In Discontinuous variation, the

Variation is the difference that occur between organism of the same species in an enviroment

State advantages of variation within a spacies

Refers to physiological and morphological changes that occur in an organism over a period of time and is a function of genotype and environment.

Variations in organisms is caused by differences aamongst individuals. There are two types of variations that is continuous and discontnous. Where in continuous variation, there are a range of variations a amongst individuals example height, weight.

Variation is different features among different organisms. It makes an organism different from others.
