Comparison between Somatogenic variations and Blastogenic variations
Somatogenic variations and Blastogenic variations: Major Differences
Somatogenic variations | Blastogenic (Germinal) variations |
1. It involves somatic cells | It involves germ cells of gonads. |
2. It is also called acquired variation as it occurs during the lifespan of an individual. | It occurs in gametogenesis in parents |
3. It is developed in response to changes in environmental factors like temperature, food, humidity, light intensity etc | It is developed due to mutations or recombination of genes |
4. It is not heritable. It has no role in heredity and evolution and is lost with the death of organism. | It is heritable variation. It transmits from one generation to another. It has great role in evolution. |
5. Examples: Better developed muscles in an athlete, gymnastics etc. Development of median eye in the larva of Fundulus fish developing in magnesium chloride containing water. | Examples: Polydactyly in man Sickle cell anaemia |
