Chapter - 8 How Do Organisms Reproduce Points to remember:- Q 1. What is the importance of DNA copying in reproduction? Ans. DNA contains information for inheritance of features from parents to next generation. DNA present in the cell nucleus is the information source for making proteins. If the information is different, different proteins will be made. Different proteins will eventually lead to altered body designs. Q 2. Why is variation beneficial to the species but not necessarily for the individual? Ans. Variations are useful for the survival of species in changed environmental situations. For example, if a population of reproducing organisms were suited to a particular niche (well-defined place of abode) and if the niche is drastically altered the population could be wiped out. However, if some variations were to be present in a few individuals in these populations, there would be some chance for them to survive. Thus if there were a population of bac
