Assessment: WAEC SSCE - Biology - 2020 (Objective) Subject: Biology

Question 1 Report

Measurements of height and weight of students in a class show 

Answer Details
Measurements of height and weight of students in a class show continuous variation. Continuous variation refers to the variation in traits that can take any value within a range. In the case of height and weight, there is a wide range of values that students can have. Some students may be tall and thin, while others may be short and heavy. This continuous variation is due to the interaction of multiple genes and environmental factors that influence growth and development. The information provided in the question does not indicate whether shortness is more prevalent or if fatness is less prevalent. It only describes the type of variation observed in the measurements of height and weight of students. Therefore, we cannot conclude anything about the prevalence of shortness or fatness in the class based on the given information.
