Sunflowers (Helianthus annuus) are annual plants native to the Americas, that possess a large inflorescence (flowering head).

....

What is usually called the flower is actually a head(formally composite flower) of numerous florets (small flowers) crowded together. The outer florets are the sterile ray florets and can be yellow, maroon, orange, or other colors. The florets inside the circular head are called disc florets, which mature into seeds.

The florets within the sunflower's cluster are arranged in a spiral pattern. Typically each floret is oriented toward the next by approximately the golden angle, 137.5°, producing a pattern of interconnecting spirals where the number of left spirals and the number of right spirals are successive Fibonacci numbers. Typically, there are 34 spirals in one direction and 55 in the other; on a very large sunflower there could be 89 in one direction and 144 in the other.[1][2][3] This pattern produces the most efficient packing of seeds within the flower head.[4][5][6]

What is a type of variation outside predicted control limits called?

A type of variation outside predicted control limits is called "special cause variation" or "assignable cause variation." This variation indicates that there is an unusual or non-random factor affecting the process, which can be investigated and addressed. In contrast to common cause variation, which is inherent to the process, special cause variation signals that something specific has disrupted the system. Identifying and eliminating these special causes is essential for maintaining process stability and quality.


What is the type of variation that is seen when looking at height of a population called?

The type of variation seen when examining the height of a population is called continuous variation. This variation occurs because height is influenced by multiple genetic and environmental factors, resulting in a range of heights rather than distinct categories. Continuous variation typically forms a normal distribution when graphed, displaying a bell-shaped curve.

What is the definition of variation?

A variation can mean something that is slightly different from similar items of its type (also a variant or variety).It can also apply to a difference itself (e.g. a variation in temperature).In mathematics, variation is the function that compares values among variables.In music, a variation is an altered form, or one of several versions with a common theme.
