this link is so useful kidddddddd!!!!!!!
Omg, they have standard deviation as well, feel like studying normal distribution in maths

MATHS \o/

Wow, i'd just like to say a BIG thanks to everyone who took the time to explain this to me
I think i've got it under my belt now.
Oh wait, one last thing to clarify, polymorphic traits are only controlled by ONE gene right - unlike continuous

No, polymorphic can be controlled by many genes as in human blood types.

No, polymorphic can be controlled by many genes as in human blood types.

but i read somewhere that blood type is controlled by a single gene - the ABO gene?

wait wait wait. blood type is controlled by one single gene.

but polymorphic traits can be controlled by one gene or more than one gene. Polymorphism refers to stuff on the phenotypic level in the population. Like you can look a bunch of organisms and say that they are polymorphic for a certain trait because there is more than one variant of that trait. But it doesn't refer to how many genes are controlling the trait.

Oh wait..sorry I was thinking of allele..my bad

Yay, I think i can confidently say that I get it now. LOOOOOOOOOL Thanks everyone
