Vedclass · Answer

(A) Organisms reproduce to create new individuals that are similar to their parents but not identical. This phenomenon is known as variation. Variations arise due to changes in genetic material during reproduction (such as $DNA$ replication errors,recombination during meiosis,or mutations). When these variations accumulate over generations,they lead to differences in the characteristics of the offspring compared to their parents. Therefore,the degree of variation determines how distinct an organism is from its parents.
