Size, colour and fingerprints are examples of?

A. physiological variation
B. discontinuous variation
C. morphological variation
D. adaptive variation

Correct Answer:

Option C – morphological variation

Explanation

Morphological variation includes aspects of the outward appearance i.e shape, structure, color, pattern, size which is in contrast to physiology variation which deals primarily with function.

Morphological variation arises from a number of factors which can be bluntly classified as either genetic or environmental implanted into the process of evolution.

Discontinuous variation is variation that has distinct groups for organisms to belong to i.e tongue rolling, fingerprints, eye color, blood groups
