Discontinuous Variation Found Characteristics Controlled Genes Alleles Affected

Discontinuous variation is found in characteristics controlled by a few genes with few alleles, is not affected by the environment, and has few discrete categories, such as blood groups.

Variația discontinuă este observată în caracteristicile controlate de puține gene cu puține alele, nu este afectată de mediu și prezintă puține categorii distincte, precum grupele sanguine.
