Genetic variation refers to the diversity of genetic material within a population or species. It arises
from differences in DNA sequences, including mutations, genetic recombination, and gene flow. This
variation is essential for evolution, as it provides the raw material for natural selection to act upon,
allowing populations to adapt to changing environments and giving rise to biodiversity.
