Expert Solution

Step 1: Polymorphism
In the genera of genetics and biology, the term "polymorphism" describes the presence of several variations or versions of a gene or a trait within a population.
These variants, sometimes referred to as alleles, can produce various phenotypes, or observable features.
It is possible for individuals within a species to differ in features such as eye color, blood type, and illness susceptibility due to polymorphism, which is a primary driver of genetic variety. It is necessary for natural population adaptability and evolution.
