    VARIATION

    Uploaded by

    This document discusses two types of variation in organisms: continuous and discontinuous variation. Continuous variation shows gradual differences between individuals that can be measured on a scale, like height or weight. It is affected by both genetic and environmental factors. Discontinuous variation involves distinct categories with no intermediate types, like blood type, and is only influenced by genetics. Both types of variation are important sources of diversity within species and can be influenced by mutations, sexual reproduction, and environmental pressures.
