Variation refers to the subtle differences observed among individuals of the same species. It is crucial for the long-term survival of a species because environments change due to factors like climate change or drastic habitat changes. If a population possesses variations, some individuals may have features enabling them to withstand extreme conditions, allowing the species to survive and avoid total extinction.
