Answer:

Find the explanation below.

Explanation:

The Hawaiian Islands is a series of islands positioned in what looks like a chain, which increases in age as one moves northwest. The Hawaiian hotspot was formed as a result of the collision of the tectonic plates in the outer part of the earth which caused the rise of a volcano, and which in turn gave off magma which came to rest on a seafloor. That eruption on the seafloor is the hotspot.

This hotspot remains unmovable while the tectonic plates are in constant motion around the hotspot, giving rise to further Islands. This explains the age distribution pattern of the Hawaiian islands which arrived at different times making some older than the others.

Genetic variation in a group of organisms enables some organisms to survive better than others in the environment in which they live. Organisms of even a small population can differ strikingly in terms of how well suited they are for life in a certain environment.

Explanation:

Genetic variations are important because a diverse gene pool is good for long-term survival of a species since the environment is always changing, so the diversity of DNA offers the most fit of the species a better chance of surviving because they are most adapted to the constantly changing environment.
