Which term matches the statement: Each organism has its unique set of traits, such as size, color, height, body weight, skin color and even the ability to find food?

• A. Genetic Variation
• B. Variation of Traits
• C. Genes
• D. Chromosome

Answer: (B)

Different organisms show a range of physical and behavioral characteristics, so each individual has its own unique set of traits like size, color, height, weight, skin color, and how they find food. Variation of Traits directly describes this observed diversity among individuals, capturing how these features differ from one organism to another.

The other ideas point to the underlying biology that can lead to traits. Genes are the units of heredity that influence traits, and chromosomes are the structures that organize many genes. Genetic Variation refers to differences in the genetic material itself. While these concepts explain why traits can differ, the statement focuses on the variety of traits we see, which is best described by Variation of Traits.
