Hello Allen/All,
Variation is the bane and the boon of the breeder and the geneticist, as the
textbooks say. Without variation, there would be no scope for improvement or
change. Breeders and geneticists would lose their jobs! Even the most
controlled breeding techniques still allow a certain degree of variation.
This is because the genes on the chromosomes independently sort themselves
as the the gametes are being produced. Nature has built in many different
ways of ensuring that the next generation is different from the present one.
That's why this year's bees are different from last year's, in any locality
or context.
