Genetic and environmental.

Genetic is "hard coded"into the DNA and RNA of the plant or animal, where as environmental is the physical expression of the genetic - this may vary according to environmental conditions and pressures.

A simple example is that a Ficus tree will have large, dark green leaves when in its natural semi-tropical environment, however if the same plant was to be transported to a hot, dry area the leaves would eventually decrease in size and colour in order to reduce the amount of water lost by the plant (and possibly sun burn)

What are the three types of variation?

The three types of variation are genetic variation, environmental variation, and genotype-environment interaction. Genetic variation refers to differences in DNA sequences among individuals, while environmental variation is differences in traits caused by external factors. Genotype-environment interaction occurs when the effect of genes on traits depends on the environment.


What is the difference direct variation and inverse variation?

Direct variation is the ratio of two variable is constant. Inverse variation is when the product of two variable is constant. For example, direct variation is y = kx and indirect variation would be y = k/x .
