facys about variation
We exhibit unique characteristics such as body parts, sizes, colors, and inherited traits, which can be influenced by our environment and environment.
whats discontinuous variation
Discontinuous variables, refers to things like eye colour or blood group, which have a limited number of possible values
whats continuous variation
Continuous variables are measurements that can take any value, such as:
length (or height);
mass;
reaction time.
what causes variation
enviromental and inherited genes
