Q1. (a) ABO blood groups in human are an example of discontinuous variation, whereas height is an example of continuous variation. Describe how these two examples differ in terms of: (1) (ii) (iii) Genetic control (i.e. the number of genes involved). The effect of the environment on each characteristic. The range of phenotypes.
