Generation

Genetic variation refers to the differences in DNA sequences among individuals within a population. These differences arise through mutations (changes in DNA), sexual reproduction (which shuffles genes through meiosis and fertilization), and gene flow (migration between populations). Genetic variation is crucial because it provides the raw material for natural selection to act upon—populations with more variation have a better chance of adapting to environmental changes, as some individuals may possess beneficial traits that help them survive and reproduce. Without genetic variation, a population would struggle to evolve and could be vulnerable to extinction if conditions change.
