thanks

So skin colour falls under discontinuous variation
And blood groups ?

[@Leah-jc8yv]

So if im asked to list examples of discontinous variation or continous
Height would be continous
Hair colour would be discontinous
So its just defined by if its represented by a number or a word?

[@TheScienceBreak]

Yes, you can tell if a variable is continuous if it is measured by a number - doesn't have to be whole number. Variables described by words, are in categories like colour and are called discontinuous.

[@haziesumyat8260]

but i was thought that the eye colour is continuous varition.
l don't know the reason exactly but she explain something about genes.

[@thelegendgamer6417]

Thank you so much sir. I learned a lot.

[@gamerzyt2009]

very helpful

[@Darkiyah_]

broooooooo thank you

[@dontviewmybio8248]

definition of discontinuous variation: living organisms within a population of a species having different characteristics because of the different categories those characteristics are in
is this right^^

[@TheScienceBreak]

It's characteristics that are in categories, e.g. colour, blood type. These are not measured in numbers. Usually limited set of values, so blood type has four main values.
