1 ENVIROMENTAL VARIATION

2 What is environmental variation? Differences within a population caused by the environment.

3 Can environmental variation be inherited? No, there is no way environmental variation can be inherited to the next generation. E.g. if a person become deaf because of listening to loud music, their offspring will not inherit this condition Note: their offspring could still become deaf if they have the genetic variation to this condition or also choose to listen to loud music!

4 The relationship between genetic and environmental variation Genetic variation determines what characteristics an individual is born with. The environment then affects these characteristics once they are born.
