Comparison between continuous and discontinuous variations


Continuous and discontinuous variations: Major differences
Continuous variations
Discontinuous variations
1.      They refer to small, indistinct differences from the normal condition.
They refer to large, conspicuous differences from the parents.
2.      They are already present in population.
They are new variations through similar variations might have occurred previously.
3.      They are also known as fluctuations.
They are also known as mutations or spurts.
4.      They are usually unstable and non-inheritable.
They are usually stable and heritable.
5.      They are due to chance segregation of genes during gamete formation, crossing over or chance combination during fertilization.
They are produced by change in genes or genome.
6.      They can be represented by smooth curve.
A curve is not produced.
7.      They are very common in all organisms.
They appear suddenly and in few cases only.





- Genomes Can Be Mapped By Linkage, Restriction Cleavage, Or Dna Sequence
Defining the contents of a genome essentially means making a map. We can think about mapping genes and genomes at several levels of resolution:A genetic (or linkage) map identifies the distance between mutations in terms of recombination frequencies....

- Homework
Please define the word adaptation and read pages 204-208. I will ask questions on Friday about continuous and discontinuous variation. I will also ask you questions about the causes of mutations...
