  • Why is it important to have variation?
    Increase chances of survival within the same species
  • What can affect your genetic characteristics?
    Environment
  • What traits do you have that CANNOT be inherited from your parents?
    Many answers
  • What is “variation”?
    The differences in organisms from the same parents.(brothers and sisters have different traits)
  • Define species
    A group of organisms that can breed with each other to produce fertile offspring

  • Differences between individuals within a species
    Variation
  • Is this animal a mammal, amphibian, reptile, bird or fish?
