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.
blood groups..
thats all i got so far and the homeworks due in tomorrow :O
eye colour, attached or lose earlobes,tongue roll,long or second toe,bent or streight thumb, etc are the examples of the discontinuous variation. hope its clear to every body.
Characteristics showing discontinuous variation fall into a few very distinct classes. The ability to roll the tongue, and blood groups, are examples of discontinuous variation.
These characteristics can be explained much more easily by simple rules of genetics and are not likely to be affected by other factors.
Discontinuous variation is characterized by either having the trait, or not having it, like Heart disease, or albinism.

i think continuous variables is everything e.g 2.3, 6.5, 9.7
and i think discontinuous variables is whole a integer (whole number) e.g 2,3,4,5,6,7
Discontinuous
yes
Continuous variation is variation without fixed values such as height or shoe size. Discontinuous variation has fixed values/catagories such as eye colour or hair colour. Hope this helps!
There are 2 types of variation: Continuous and Discontinuous. Continuous: Has slight differences that grade into each other. Usually has quantitative/measurable characteristics. e.g Human height/weight... Discontinuous: It has discrete differences which have a clear cut- they do not merge into each other. e.g. human blood...
Continuous or might be discontinuous.
discontinuous
Natural eye colour is discontinuous. :) !
Discontinuous
Continuous Variation and Discontinuous Variation.
Hair colour is continuous because there is a continual range of values when it comes to hair colour
yes
Yesh

It is a continuous variation which is not by birth. It is an injury which will slowly change so a scar is a continuous variation.
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 person foot size can be determine by discontinuous variation
A chart would be good for continuous and discontinuous data, as for the environmental variation would be a diagram.
