Natural eye colour is discontinuous. :) !
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.
eyes, hair, fingers and toes, vertebrates... most common body parts
Artificial selection.
how is the pressure varition in a sound wave amplified in human ear

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...

It is an example of continuous variations.
This is a typical kind of continuous variation which is controlled by polygenes.
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

Human species, as in the variation in height.
It is a continuous variable.
Human recombination is a significant source of genetic variation.
