Natural eye colour is discontinuous. :) !
How do organisms achieve variation?
The differences shown by the individuals of one kind of organisms are called variations. Variations are due to hereditary and non-hereditary characteristics. Characteristics, which are passed from parents to off spring, are called hereditary characteristics. In general the term variation means the difference in characteristics of organisms belonging to the same species in a natural population. Two types of variation, i.e. continuous and discontinuous, occur in any large population. In continuous variation, there are small differences among individuals of the same species and many intermediate forms are seen. So there is a complete gradation of many characteristics of organisms from one extreme to the other in a population. E.g. height in human being. Characteristics showing continuous variation are produced due to combined effects of many genes and environmental factors.
Type of selection in which human select the variation?
Artificial selection.

When the human body is responding to stress the hormone adrenaline is released A short time later the body returns to normal this is an example of how a human?
A reacts to an antibody B Develops genetic variation in body cells C maintains cellular organization D maintains dynamic equilibrium ?
Is the variation in weight in human populations an example of discrete or continuous variation?
It is an example of continuous variations.
What is the variation in human skin color an example of?
This is a typical kind of continuous variation which is controlled by polygenes.
Is human skin colour continuous or discontinuous variation?
Natural eye colour is discontinuous. :) !
Why is height continuous variation?
You have the gene of tallness, but you don't eat enough so that your body size doesn't change. Continuous variation in human population is always the result of interaction between genotype and the environment
Is human height an example of quantitative variation?
yes
Variation of human skin color is an example of?
polygenic traits
What are the types of variations?
There are 2 types of variation: Continuous and Discontinuous. Continuous: Has slight differences that grade into each other. Usually has quantitative/measurable characteristics. e.g Human height/weight... Discontinuous: It has discrete differences which have a clear cut- they do not merge into each other. e.g. human blood...

What would be your clue that a character would have polygenic inheritance pattern?
Polygenic inheritance shows a continuous variation. An example of polygenic inheritance is human skin because it has a variety of colors. An example of something not having polygenic phenotype is earlobes because they are either free or attached; there is no in-between state.
What are specific examples of variation within a species?
Human species, as in the variation in height.
Is height of human beings discrete variable or continuous variable?
It is a continuous variable.
