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

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 one symbol to represent multiple different types. In object-oriented programming, polymorphism is the provision...

C++ (/ˈsiː plʌs plʌs/, pronounced "C plus plus" and sometimes abbreviated as CPP or CXX) is a high-level, general-purpose programming language created...

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

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...

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

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

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...

for each interface. C# also offers function overloading (a.k.a. ad-hoc-polymorphism), i.e. methods with the same name, but distinguishable signatures. Unlike...

types. This capability reduces duplicate code and is known as parametric polymorphism. The following program calculates the sum of two things, for which addition...

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...

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...

and decrypts it before executing it in turn. Encryption alone is not polymorphism. To gain polymorphic behavior, the encryptor/decryptor pair is mutated...

set of interacting objects that enact operations referred to by name. Polymorphism is the phenomenon wherein somewhat interchangeable objects each expose...

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...
