Which of the following is NOT TRUE?

  1. Variations can be small or large.
  2. Variations are caused due to mutations.
  3. Variations might be useful or harmful depending on the environment.
  4.  Both useful and harmful variations are selected by nature equally.

hintHint:

Both useful and harmful variations are selected by nature equally- this statement is not true.

The correct answer is: Both useful and harmful variations are selected by nature equally.


    • A variation  is an inherited trait or character that makes an individual different from other members of the species.
    • The traits that are most helpful for survival in an environment become more common through the process of Natural selection.
    • The favourable adaptations are selected by nature and have more chances of survival.
