In order 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 determined. A conditional development strategy, where the phenotype of each individual is set by environmental cues. A mixed development strategy, where the phenotype is randomly assigned during development. polymorphism.txt Last modified: 2024/06/07 02:54by 127.0.0.1
