Individuality

Explanation:

Individuality is the attributes of a certain person or thing that separates them from others of the same class, mostly when strongly marked.

To explain this, let's consider a usual idiomatic statement in English:

"He/she marches to the beat of a different drummer."

We use the idiomatic statement to describe someone who happens to be unique from the crowd, thou a bit odd or eccentric, or who acts in an unpredictable and different ways.

Lets rephrase it this way, "in situations where people march along to the beat of a drummer, an individual could be hearing a separate drum-beat, because he or she is marching in a total different rhythm.

The sentence is a variation of that expression speaking of individuality.

•there must be variation for the particular trait within a population.

•the variation must be inheritable (that is, it must be capable of being passed on from the parents to their offspring).

•individuals with one version of the trait must produce more offspring than those with a different version of the trait.good
