individuals wi variations can adapt to changing environ
·
reproduction possible wi few/no mates
faster

genotype variation beyond mutations good :
high genotype variation
advantages :
all individuals can produce offspring
·
variation= basis of eve
simplet fast adaptability greater survival chance in unstable environ

·
rapid spread of favourable mutation ·
reduce risk of inherited diseases
disadvantages novariation -> environmental changes =
possible die out high energy expenditure
overcrowding can occur resources in short
