Variation in population: WAEC Biology Past Questions and Answers
What the WAEC syllabus covers in Variation in population
Our summary: Morphological and physiological variation, continuous and discontinuous, measured on real people, animals and plants.
- Morphological variations in the physical appearance of individuals: size, height and weight (Candidates are required to measure heights and weights of pupils of the same age group and plot graphs of frequency distribution of the height and weight.)
- Colour (skin, eye, hair, coat of animals) (Observe and record various skin colour, colour pattern of some animals (cow, goat, rabbits), colour pattern of plants (maize cob and leaves).)
- Finger prints (Make finger prints and classify them into arches, loops, whorls and compounds.)
- Physiological variations: ability to roll tongue
- Ability to taste phenylthiocarbamide (PTC)
- Blood groups (ABO classification)
