Question

What is continuous and discontinuous variation

Accepted Answer

Continuous: concerns traits which have no limit like weight, BMI, height (combination of genetic and environmental factors, generally increased over past century because of diet changes, less disease exposure, less child labour and better heating so overall more energy for growing)

Discontinuous: concerns traits which are distinct like eye colour, gender, hair or skin colour (melanin)
