Continuous: height, weight, skin colour.
Discontinuous: eye colour, attached ear lobes
Continuous variation varies from degree to degree gradually, affected by external conditions. Discontinuous variation only has two or more definite 'extremes', determined by genes only.
No, lobed ears are considered a continuous variation rather than a discontinuous one. Discontinuous variation refers to traits that have distinct categories with little to no intermediates, whereas lobed ears exist on a spectrum ranging from completely lobeless to fully lobed.
Continuous variation refers to a range of possible values that a trait can take, such as height or weight, showing a smooth spectrum of variation. Discontinuous variation refers to distinct categories or traits that do not show a gradual range of values, like blood type or eye color.
Fingerprint patterns are considered a discontinuous variation because they fall into distinct categories such as loops, arches, and whorls. While there can be variations within these categories, the overall pattern of fingerprints is not continuous but rather falls into discrete classifications.
Polydactyly, a condition where an individual has extra fingers or toes, is an example of discontinuous variation. These extra digits are distinct and discrete traits that can be observed in individuals within a population.
Oh, dude, so like, rose flower color is actually considered a discontinuous variation. It's not like a smooth gradient where you can just blend different colors together like a fancy smoothie. It's more like distinct categories, you know? Like, red roses, white roses, yellow roses - no mixing and matching here, just straight-up different colors.
discontinuous
Natural eye colour is discontinuous. :) !
Continuous Variation and Discontinuous Variation.
Hair colour is continuous because there is a continual range of values when it comes to hair colour
Yesh

Continuous variation refers to a range of possible values that a trait can take, such as height or weight, showing a smooth spectrum of variation. Discontinuous variation refers to distinct categories or traits that do not show a gradual range of values, like blood type or eye color.
Discontinuous variation is primarily caused by genes, as it results from distinct genetic factors that influence a trait. While the environment can also play a role in shaping variations, it typically leads to continuous variations rather than the distinct, non-overlapping categories seen in discontinuous variation.
Fingerprints are considered a discontinuous variation because they are distinct and unique to each individual. Discontinuous variations refer to traits that have clear differences between individuals, such as blood type or presence of a certain genetic disorder. In the case of fingerprints, each person's pattern is unique and does not fall along a continuous spectrum like height or weight.
A chart would be good for continuous and discontinuous data, as for the environmental variation would be a diagram.
no, as a flower is either for example blue or white, and cannot be something in between, thus its discontinuous variation.
Fingerprint patterns are considered a discontinuous variation because they fall into distinct categories such as loops, arches, and whorls. While there can be variations within these categories, the overall pattern of fingerprints is not continuous but rather falls into discrete classifications.
