Discrete variation refers to differences in characteristics that have a defined form. You can think of it as being either/or.
For example. Your earlobes are either attached or they are not. Or whether or not you can roll your tongue.
Continuous variation comes in a range of forms.
For example. Height - is not a set number or another.

What are the differences between Continuous and discrete variation?
