yes
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.
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.
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
Discontinuous variation refers to the type of phenotypic variation that falls into distinct categories or groups, with no intermediate forms. Traits exhibiting discontinuous variation, such as blood type or flower color, can be clearly classified into specific categories. This type of variation is often influenced by a small number of genes, making it easier to identify and study. Unlike continuous variation, where traits show a range of values, discontinuous variation results in a more discrete distribution of traits.
Yesh

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.
Flower color variation can be either continuous or discontinuous, depending on the species and genetic factors involved. Continuous variation occurs when color changes gradually across a spectrum, often influenced by multiple genes (polygenic inheritance). In contrast, discontinuous variation results in distinct color categories, typically governed by a single gene with different alleles. Overall, the mode of variation in flower color is determined by the underlying genetic mechanisms.
Yes it is, because in discontinuous variation, the differences are clear cut and discrete, meaning that they will not merge/blend into each other. Another example of discontinuous variation would be horns in cattle. There is either the presence or absence of horns on a cow, you will not see a cow "almost having a horn".
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.
