All the difference..

Why would variations in characteristics be important to the survival of a population?

So if there is a disease spreading through a population and you have genetic diversity then it will be harder for the disease to spread and kill of the animal.

Variation would be helpful if there is a sickness blasting through the population like wildfire and some are immune to it.

If there is diversity in a population, a disease will find it way harder to put that organism in extinction, rather than if every organism was the same.

Genetic diversity helps the chance of survival to disease.

genetic diversity can block diseases from spreading

Because if there's a disease in an area and one animal is immune to it, that animal won't die and with variations in characteristics, other animals have a chance of living through it, too.

genetic diversity can block the diseases from spreading from one area to another

Ember said...

It would be important so that the diseases that may impact a population would be harder to spread and kill.

genetic diversity can stop diseases from spreading

it there is variation in a community of animals would make it not as hard to adapt and live longer then other animals that don't have a seton characteristic.

Variation of characteristics in populations is important for organisms because it can cause natural selection which can help the species.

If there is genetic diversity then there is a disease spreading genetic diversity makes it so that it will be harder for the disease to kill people and animals.

Variations in characteristics are important for survival because if we all had the same genetics our bodies could take in diseases from other people and pretty soon our entire population would be gone.

Hunter Murphy said...

Genetic diversity can help to stop disease from spreading so then it helps the chance of survival of that organism like humans or animals.

without the variation species would be to susceptible and would be more susceptible to disease.

Hayden said...

if there is a disease spreading one animal might be immune to it they might not die but the other ones that aren't immune will die.

genetic diversity can aid decease from spreading.

SO if there is a disease a part of the population will survive.

Variations in Characteristics is important to the survival of a population because if a certain species all had the same genetics, diseases from other animals of the same species would spread.

Organisms with variation have a less likely chance to get awful diseases like aids.

so it cant get pased on

Ashley Stanton said...

A variation in characteristics would be helpful to a population, because if there is a disease spreading around, more and more people will eventually become immune to that disease because they would adapt.

Ava-Mae Hymer said...

Variation of Characteristics is important because like with the Blackfooted Ferret, without variation and mutations a lot of the population can get the same disease so quickly.

Ben Pooler said...

genetic diversity can prevent disease from spreading.

Genetic diversity helps with diseases spreading less.

brandy said...

it is important because if a population all had the same genes the diseases from other animals of the same species would spread on to them as well.

Variations among members of a species is extremely important for the survival of that species. Mutations can help a species fight off viruses. This is because if there is a group of organisms in that species that have an immunity to a threatening virus, that group is more likely to survive, and reproduce more organisms with that mutation. Because of this, variation is very important among species.

because then in each generation something would be different and keep changing until they finally adapt to their environment

Paul Bellonzi said...

It would help them feed and have immunity to certain diseases.

Variation in characteristics is important because it makes it harder to transmit diseases and makes it so the species have a better chance of survival.

Variations can help from spreading diseases to other organisms.
