polygenic trait
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.
This is a typical kind of continuous variation which is controlled by polygenes.
Natural eye colour is discontinuous. :) !
Hair colour is continuous because there is a continual range of values when it comes to hair colour
A genetic characteristic of an individual refers to a trait that is determined by their genes, such as eye color, blood type, or susceptibility to certain diseases. These characteristics are inherited from parents and can vary among individuals.
no, as a flower is either for example blue or white, and cannot be something in between, thus its discontinuous variation.
Continuous Variation and Discontinuous Variation.
It is an example of continuous variations.
The color of rose flowers exhibits discontinuous variation. This means that rose colors, such as red, yellow, pink, and white, fall into distinct categories rather than existing on a continuous spectrum. The variation is primarily determined by genetic factors, leading to specific color phenotypes rather than a gradual blend of colors.
Eye color is not an example of polygenetic traits. Skin color is. Eye color is rather simple as far as genetics go (in humans). Brown (B) is dominate and blue (b) is recessive. A person with blue eyes has to have to have both genes for the color blue (bb). A person with brown eye color can has both genes for brown (BB) or one for brown and one for blue (Bb). The blue is not expressed in this case with Bb. Some people have hazel eyes but this is a variation of the blue color.
Inherited variation is what is passed on through genetics, for example, your eye color. Environmental variation is influnced by the environment, for example, scars or clothing styles.
