Answer:

"Genetic variations that alter gene activity or protein function can introduce different traits in an organism. If a trait is advantageous and helps the individual survive and reproduce, the genetic variation is more likely to be passed to the next generation (a process known as natural selection).

Step-by-step explanation:

Genetic variation is essential for natural selection because natural selection can only increase or decrease frequency of alleles that already exist in the population. "-medline
