Answer: Genetic variation is an important force in evolution as it allows natural selection to increase or decrease frequency of alleles already in the population. ... Genetic variation is advantageous to a population because it enables some individuals to adapt to the environment while maintaining the survival of the population. Because natural selection acts directly only on phenotypes, more genetic variation within a population usually enables more phenotypic variation. Some new alleles increase an organism's ability to survive and reproduce, which then ensures the survival of the allele in the population.
Explanation:
They looked and saw Rosalind Franklin's X-ray crystallography which sparked them to think about the double-helix structure, and from there, they played around with cafeteria items (forks and spoons and whatnot) to create a model that finally worked.

The main aspect used to differ coniferous tree are their leaves. Coniferous leaves look like elongated needles, instead of the regular flatend out leaves we're used to
Further characteristics:
Seeds are hard and grow in large groups, stuck to eachother.
Coniferous are evergreen trees (don't shed leaves nor change the colour of these, although this rule does not apply to all of them).
They have spread worldwide.
Can withstand low temperaurees and can be found even in places like the Artic circle.
I've pasted some images down below that might help you a lot. (Left - leaves; Right - coniferous trees).
Hope it helped,
Happy homework/ study/ exam!
