In biology, polymorphism is the occurrence of two or more clearly different morphs or forms, also referred to as alternative phenotypes, in the population...

features described above. Compile-time polymorphism does not allow for certain run-time decisions, while runtime polymorphism typically incurs a performance penalty...

In genetics and bioinformatics, a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP /snɪp/; plural SNPs /snɪps/) is a germline substitution of a single nucleotide at...

type theory, polymorphism is the use of a single symbol to represent multiple different types. In object-oriented programming, polymorphism is the provision...

In crystallography, polymorphism describes the phenomenon where a compound or element can crystallize into more than one crystal structure. The preceding...

theory, subtyping (also called subtype polymorphism or inclusion polymorphism) is a form of type polymorphism. A subtype is a datatype that is related...

In molecular biology, restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) is a technique that exploits variations in homologous DNA sequences, known as polymorphisms...

In programming languages and type theory, parametric polymorphism allows a single piece of code to be given a "generic" type, using variables in place...

variation with a method such as single strand conformation polymorphism analysis. A polymorphism can be any sequence difference. Examples include: Single...

the first time. Four months later, version 0.3 added destructors and polymorphism, through the use of interfaces. In October 2012, version 0.4 was released...

offers function overloading (a.k.a. ad-hoc-polymorphism). Since version 2.0, C# offers parametric polymorphism, i.e. classes with arbitrary or constrained...

consideration have a higher fitness than the homozygote. In this way genetic polymorphism is conserved. Evidence for balancing selection can be found in the number...

product of both genetics and environmental factors. An example of sexual polymorphism determined by environmental conditions exists in the red-backed fairywren...

complete functions. The use of templates can be thought of as compile-time polymorphism. The technique is used by a number of languages, the best-known being...

allelic repeats. DRD4-7R, the 7-repeat (7R) variant of DRD4 (DRD4 7-repeat polymorphism), has been linked to a susceptibility for developing ADHD in several...

Secretor status refers to the presence or absence of water-soluble ABO blood group antigens in a person's bodily fluids, such as saliva, tears, breast...

Pleomorphism is a term used in histology and cytopathology to describe variability in the size, shape and staining of cells and/or their nuclei. Several...
