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.

What is the difference between continuous and discontinuous and discrete variables?
A continuous variable is a variable for which all possible representations are valid. A discrete variable is a variable for which only some representations are valid. Discontinuous variables apply to data sets where values recorded during particular periods are missing from the set.

What are the differences between Continuous and discrete variation?
Continuous variations have a wide range of possibilities. For example, your height is a continuous variation. There are many options (for example you could be 5'9, 4'6, 6'1) rather than an either/or situation. Discrete variations have only two possibilities. They can be thought of as "either/or" situations. For example, you can either roll your tongue or you can't. There is no grey area or in-between.
What is the difference between bar chart and line chart?
A bar graph is for measuring discontinuous data, for example 'What colour eyes do people in this room have'? This would be a bar chart (number on the y axis and eye colours on the x)A line graph is for measuring continuous data, like temperature, for example.
What is the difference between direct variation and direct proportion?
im not say that defferent.my question is inverse variation as a proportion.pls answerbecause i dont know the answer
