Question

There are two different species in a habitat. Species A has fewer genetic variations. Species B has a considerable amount of genetic variations. Which of these statements is true?

Answer 1

I think is A because has more variation ma of species .

Answer 2

Answer:

The statement that is true is species B has a considerable amount of genetic variations

Explanation:

Variation is very important in evolution. If there is no genetic variation, evolution is not viable. In this the concept of mutation appears, where it is defined as an inheritable change in the genetic material, altering the DNA sequence and producing new variants. The vast majority of these variants are eliminated, however, some can be incorporated into individuals. It can be said that the mutation increases genetic diversity. High rates of mutations means a great potential for adaptation in an environmental change, as many genetic variants are explored, increasing the possibility of achieving the most favorable variant required for adaptation.
