What are variations? Explain with a suitable example.

1.	What are variations? Explain with a suitable example.
Answer» 1. Differences in characters within very closely related groups of organisms are referred to as variations. 2. Often a new character in a group may lead to variations that are inherited. 3. If we observe parents and offsprings, there will be some similar features in the offspring of the parents. 4. At the same time we find differences between parents and offspring in their features. 5. These differences are an example of variations. 6. Variations are quite apparent among closely related groups of organisms. 7. If we take roses as an another example, we observe number of varieties in them. 8. But we can still find some characters similar to all plants. 9. Thus rose plants have similar physical features, at the same time they have differences in characters like flower colour, number of petals, leaf size, stem, spines, etc. 10. These differences in features are variations.
