Continuous variation results from many genes, can be affected by the environment, and shows a normal distribution (bell curve), like height or skin color.
Variația continuă este rezultatul multor gene, poate fi influențată de mediu și prezintă o distribuție normală (curbă în formă de clopot), cum ar fi înălțimea sau culoarea pielii.
| 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 |
