discontinuous
Examples of continuous variation are anything that can be measured such as, shoe size, height, weight, hand span and diameter of limpit shells. Discontinuous variation however is when there is a clear cut difference such as different colours or different species.
Continuous variation is a variation that is distributable; under a normal curve. Height is an example of this with all heights being along a continuum of heights within populations, at least. This distribution of traits is usually controlled by many alleles in a additive fashion. Polygenic. Discontinuous variation is of one trait, allele, or the other. Blood groups are an example of this. A, B , O. You can only have two alleles here, so AA and AB and OO and AO, AB etc. are the expressed ( less the recessive O, except homozygous ) traits. These are single variations based on one allele and are not distributable along a continuum.
Variations are of following types:- 1.Somatic and Germinal Variations. 2.Continuous and Discontinuous Variations. 3.Determinate and Indeterminate Variations. 4.Meristic and Substantive Variations. 5.Other Variations.
Sure! The definition of Laplace transform involves the integral of a function, which always makes discontinuous continuous.
