Genetic variations can benefit a species physicaly and mechanicaly. For example, if a human is born with flipper shaped feet, they can benefit in swimming and water related sports because they have flipper like feet. enabling them to move in water at faster more energy efficent speeds.
Explanation:
Genetic variation is the difference in DNA among individuals or the differences between populations. There are multiple sources of genetic variation, including mutation and genetic recombination. For example (part of answer) if a human is born with flipper shaped feet, they can benefit in swimming and water related sports because they have flipper like feet.
Coffin-Lowry syndrome is caused by changes (mutations) in the RPS6KA3 gene and is inherited in an X-linked dominant pattern. Males are usually more severely affected than females.
