- Variation
- Interspecific variation
- variation between organisms of different species
- Intraspecific variation
- variation between organisms within a species
- Genetic variation
- e.g. blood group
- causes
- alleles
- mutations
- meiosis
- crossing over/ recombinants
- Environmental variation
- e.g. scars/ accent
- most variation is caused by both genes and environment
- Continuous variation
- no defined categories
- range of values
- quantitative data
- caused by a variety of genes, as well as the environment
- e.g. height/ mass/ length
- Discontinuous variation
- caused by one/ few genes only
- discrete categories, no intermediates
- qualitative data
- e.g. shape of bacteria
- Interspecific variation
