Question 5 • Biology

Which statement would least likely be used to describe variation?

Answer
A
Variations that decrease reproductive success are more likely to be passed on.
B
Variations are inherited differences between individuals of the same species.
C
Variations provide some individuals with an advantage.
D
Variations may result in changes to an entire population after many generations.

Explanation

Inherited variations can affect how well an organism survives and reproduces. A variation that improves reproductive success is more likely to be passed on, while one that decreases reproductive success is generally less likely to spread. So the statement that decreased success makes a variation more likely to be passed on is least likely to describe variation.
