discontiniuos variation is when u only have a imited amount of possibilities such as blood group or eye colour


continious is when u can have a lot of varieties such as height where a lot of ppl take the middle spot

continuous variation are characteristics of an organism that are affected by both the genes and the environment but discontinuous variation is shown by organisms when a charcterisitic is affected only by the genes

e.g.continuous-mass,height
discontinuous-lobed ears, blood group, ability to roll tongue
