can help a species better adapt to environmental changes.
Explanation: Genetic variation produces different traits among individuals, so when the environment changes some individuals are more likely to survive and reproduce. The other choices are incorrect: variation doesn’t require only a sporophyte generation, it doesn’t itself increase mutation rates, and it does not protect all individuals equally against disease (it causes differing susceptibilities).
