Variation can influence fitness, as certain variations may make an organism better adapted to its environment and therefore have a higher fitness. However, not all variations necessarily impact fitness, and some may even decrease fitness. Ultimately, natural selection acts upon the variation present in a population to determine which traits are more or less fit for survival and reproduction.
