Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A clinal distribution is a pattern of gradual change or variation in a characteristic or trait in a population over a geographic area. This type of distribution is also called continuous variation, which distinguishes it from discrete or discontinuous variation, where distinct categories or traits are present with no intermediary forms. Ontological distribution and gradual distribution are not commonly used terms in the context of population biology or evolutionary biology.
