Thewar Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 In one genetics book, the definition of polymorphism is listed as 'the existence of two or more discontinuous, segregating phenotypes in a population'. what exactly do 'discontinuous' and 'segregating' mean in this context? I understand the basic definition of polymorphism as the presence of 2+ alleles in a population that gives rise to 2+ phenotypes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
