Only variations that confer an advantage to an individual organism will survive in a population. Do you agree with this statement? Why or why not?
Variations are the difference among the individuals of species or their offsprings. We are agreeable to this statement that only variations can confer an advantage to an individual organism that will survive in a population. Not all living organisms have equal chances of survival in the environment. The living organisms must change their characters or adapt their characters according to the changing environment, and those who will not adapt, they will not survive. So, the chances of survival only depend on the variations in environment.
