Polymorphism in biology and zoology is the occurrence of two or more clearly different morphs or forms, also referred to as alternative phenotypes, in the population of a species. To be classified as such, morphs must occupy the same habitat at the same time and belong to a panmictic population (one with random mating).
Three mechanisms may cause polymorphism:
Genetic polymorphism – where the phenotype of each individual is genetically determinedA conditional development strategy, where the phenotype of each individual is set by environmental cuesA mixed development strategy, where the phenotype is randomly assigned during developmentSimilar questions
