Best Answer

Causes of variation is random mutation. Random mutations constantly occur in the genomes of organisms; these mutations create genetic variation. If all living things were same, we will all use up one type of food as our nutrient source and eventually we will run out of food to consume.. making less likely for us to survive..

What causes DNA variation in organisms?

Mutation of the genetic code causes DNA variation in organisms. For example, during DNA replication, one nitrogen base may be substituted for another, or an extra base can be added, or a nitrogen base can be skipped. If any of these mutations occur during the formation of gametes (sex cells), then the offspring that receives the mutation may have a genetic disorder.

What causes variation in human beings?

the variations in genes, genes of sexually reproducing organisms will vary due to crossing-over of genes, mutations, and adaptations. In asexually reproducing organisms genes will vary through adaptations and mutations.


What causes a disease but are not considered to be living organisms?

Viruses are not considered living organisms but can cause disease. Prions that cause Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (Mad Cow disease, aka vCJD- variant Creutzfeld-Jakob disease when in humans) are not living organisms as they are just misfolded protein particles.
