Variation & Evolution

12 min read

Genetic and environmental variation, mutation, natural selection and evolution, and selective breeding.

Variation

  • Genetic variation — from different alleles (sexual reproduction, mutation), e.g. blood group.
  • Environmental variation — caused by surroundings, e.g. language, scars.
  • Many features result from both (e.g. height).

Continuous variation has a range (e.g. height); discontinuous has distinct categories (e.g. blood group).
