Genes Affected Environment Distribution Continuous Variation Due Points

Front What is continuous variation and what is an example
Back Due to many genes and maybe affected by environment

Points to remember:
Found in characteristics controlled by many genes (polygenes)
Maybe affected by environment
Show normal distribution range

Diagram representation: Bell shaped curve- frequency distribution curve

Examples:
Height
Mass
Skin colour
Leaf width
