If Within a Single Population There Were Four Genetically Distinct

Question

If within a single population there were four genetically distinct morphs,what would this mean?
A) It would mean that the population had all the same DNA except at four loci.
B) It would mean that most individuals were bi-allelic.
C) It would mean that the population is polymorphic.
D) It would mean that the population is actually four races.

Accepted Answer

The presence of four genetically distinct morphs within a single population indicates that the population is polymorphic, meaning that there are multiple forms (or morphs) within the population. This could be due to variations in DNA at multiple loci or due to environmental factors that cause different expressions of the same genes. It does not necessarily indicate the presence of separate races within the population.
