Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Clinal variation refers to gradual changes in a trait across a geographic area, while discontinuous variation refers to distinct variations between populations. Human variation can exhibit both clinal and discontinuous patterns depending on the trait being studied. Therefore, option A is the most accurate answer. Option B is incorrect as different traits may be influenced by different factors and may not always exhibit similar patterns. Option C is also incorrect as migration can greatly impact the genetic makeup and variation within populations.
