Can variation be advantageous to the survival of a lima bean population during times of a changing environment?

The correct answer is - yes, variation can be advantageous.

Explanation:

The population of the lima beans that are able to adapt to changes and include these variations in their population will lead individuals are able to survive and reproduce to increase their numbers in changing environments. The igher the variability in the population is, the higher the chances of the to be advantageous for their survival and increase their population.

Thus, the correct answer is - yes.

1: most common garden plants prefer loam — soils with a balance of different-sized mineral particles (approximately 40% sand, 40% silt, and 20% clay) with ample organic matter and pore space. however, some plants grow better in sandy soils, while others are well-adapted to clay soils.

2: available water capacity is the maximum amount of plant available water a soil can provide. it is an indicator of a soil's ability to retain water and make it sufficiently available for plant use. available water capacity is the water held in soil between its field capacity and permanent wilting point.

3: it is the same for all living things (plants and animals). it also includes very tiny organisms that our eyes cannot see. they are known as microorganisms, and include viruses, bacteria and fungi.

not necessarily. higher fitness requires the organism to be reproductive successful. for example, an organism at age 10 with 15 offspring is much more fit than an organism at age 15 with only 5 offspring.
