discontinuous
Flower color variation can be either continuous or discontinuous, depending on the species and genetic factors involved. Continuous variation occurs when color changes gradually across a spectrum, often influenced by multiple genes (polygenic inheritance). In contrast, discontinuous variation results in distinct color categories, typically governed by a single gene with different alleles. Overall, the mode of variation in flower color is determined by the underlying genetic mechanisms.
Discontinuous variation refers to the type of phenotypic variation that falls into distinct categories or groups, with no intermediate forms. Traits exhibiting discontinuous variation, such as blood type or flower color, can be clearly classified into specific categories. This type of variation is often influenced by a small number of genes, making it easier to identify and study. Unlike continuous variation, where traits show a range of values, discontinuous variation results in a more discrete distribution of traits.
discrete
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.
Sure! The definition of Laplace transform involves the integral of a function, which always makes discontinuous continuous.
Natural eye colour is discontinuous. :) !
Continuous Variation and Discontinuous Variation.
Hair colour is continuous because there is a continual range of values when it comes to hair colour
Continuous variation refers to a range of possible values that a trait can take, such as height or weight, showing a smooth spectrum of variation. Discontinuous variation refers to distinct categories or traits that do not show a gradual range of values, like blood type or eye color.

No, lobed ears are considered a continuous variation rather than a discontinuous one. Discontinuous variation refers to traits that have distinct categories with little to no intermediates, whereas lobed ears exist on a spectrum ranging from completely lobeless to fully lobed.
Fingerprint patterns are considered a discontinuous variation because they fall into distinct categories such as loops, arches, and whorls. While there can be variations within these categories, the overall pattern of fingerprints is not continuous but rather falls into discrete classifications.
I think it is continuous because you can measure the length of an hair, so to me the best answer is continuous variation.

A chart would be good for continuous and discontinuous data, as for the environmental variation would be a diagram.
no, as a flower is either for example blue or white, and cannot be something in between, thus its discontinuous variation.
yup!!!!! I know this one it's continuous and discontinuous radiation
