Question

difference b/w. somatic variation and blastogenic variation

Answer 1

Answer :-

Somatogenic variations :-

• In general terms, "Somatogenic variations" can be defined as the variations which are limited to various parts of the body.

• Somatogenic variations are not inheritable.

• Somatogenic variations have no use in evolution of organisms.

Blastogenic variations :-

• In general terms, "Blastogenic variations" can be defined as the variations which occur due to the differences in the genotype of variant organisms.

• Blastogenic variations are heritable.

• Blastogenic variations play a very important role in evolution of organisms.

Extra Information :-

• Somatogenic variations are also known as "Somatic variations" and "Phenotypic variations".

• Blastogenic variations are also known as "Germinal variations".
